Can't see my text cursor in Code::Blocks when changing text editor to dark theme

When I followed the instructions on this answer to change my theme in this .conf file to the "vim" theme, it worked properly, but I was not able to see my text cursor because both the cursor and the screen is black. Is there a way to fix this or change the cursor color on Code::Blocks?

I tried turning on the text cursor indicator in Settings but for some reason it works well on every application except Code::Blocks.

Is there a way to make the whole Code::Blocks window the same theme as the editor or is only the editor theme configurable?

I am on Windows 10 and I am using the 30 July 2023 nightly build of Code::Blocks. Thanks for helping.

  • Thanks to @Elijay's comment, I now know the setting to change the cursor color is at Settings -> Editor -> Margins and Caret. Thanks!
