    I use the program for my finances and it runs on it's own native screen and there is no visible cursor.

    Is there a way to tweek MOS to show the cursor?

    Got a link to that app? Some specifics about the cursor? How about a screenshot?

    I'll try to take a look when I have a minute...

    Thanks Jacadcaps!

    The cursor is invisible, if I click into a cell to type it doesn't show. I can type as normal and use the software, I just have no idea where I am in it.

    Here is the program:

    It does something strange where when it loads it loads the guide as well. Doesn't do that on my A3000.

    I tried attaching a .png of the screen and morph.zone gave me an error...

    Chances are it's a pens problem. The cursor may be visible but the same colour as the background.

    What I was thinking, yes. It's possible even changing the default system skin may fix this.

    Gentlemen, I tried a different skin and it worked. Thank you!

    Is there a way to change the cursor pen so I can keep using the same skin?

    Pens are configured in the skin's SkinConfig file. You'll need to restart the app to test your changes.

    Sure, here is what I did:

    Skin: AMI25
    I Changed:
    SYSTEMPEN 0 0x86B2D2

    That made the cursor visible.
