When using a brush, as you hover over brushed areas, the cursor color will invert from the teal green to a violet color, according to the pixels it intersects.

It's a nice idea, but for me it can be a bit visually distracting, and I was wondering if it can be turned off. I'd prefer the outline be a solid color.

Any feedback is appreciated, thanks. ^_^

I think (but not sure) that those colors are hard-coded to the cursor, you can change the cursor style though, Settings>Configure Krita>General, there the first tab "cursor" gives you the available options, may be you would like to try "no outline", that will only show the cursor by itself.

I have Krita on two machines, newest versions, and it seems to be solid green all the time on one, and on the other machine the color inverts over dark pixels. So I'm really confused. X)

It's supposed to be inverted, but for some reason some graphics drivers have decided between 2.9 and 3.0 that they don't recognise the invert mechanism despite is being really bog-standard.

Is there an option to turn off the color inversion?

What exactly happens depends on your graphics card and driver combination. There is no option in Krita itself, the colors are defined in the cursor.frag fragment shader.

I see, thanks, boudewijn.

Is this where it's determined? https://github.com/KDE/krita/blob/46c8b ... r.cpp#L174
