Custom colour editing not working in a 3rd party theme
Hi,
I have recently been using the excellent Inquasar Dark Matter theme. Nice and dark with a great colour set. However, the play cursor line is too dark (on the dark background). I'd like to change its colour, but strangely that cannot be done.
I'm in the Theme Development editor, I can change the colour for the 'Play Cursor' option, but this change does not take effect on the actual play cursor.
Intrigued, I did the same edit in the default theme and here the same colour change works. I can change the colour in the Theme Development editor and see the change in my project. But this only happens in the Default theme, and not the Inquasar Dark Matter theme. I also tried changing this colour in another 3rd party theme and it worked.
Are there any other options I need to look at when editing 3rd party themes? Can a theme like this one have disabled editing options? Which ones? (asking as a noob where it comes to editing themes).

Hi -
I'm pretty sure that I changed the color of the play-cursor in this theme, but I'm not at my pc just now, so I'll get back to you in a bit, if someone else hasn't confirmed by then.

I Just tried it. Confirm that play cursor color change working for me, via "Theme Editor."

I think I've noticed something...the colour does change but the play cursor is so transparent that the colour change is hardly visible. I've only noticed this when I chose some brighter colours, but even here, the cursor with a very bright colour is invisible on the dark project background.
The play cursor in the default theme is solid and clearly visible, not so in this theme. So I guess it's about editing the transparency of the play cursor line. How can this be done?

Here is a gif that shows the problem. First you see how I change the play cursor colour in the Inquasar Dark Matter theme and it's very bleak in the item, and invisible on the black project background. Then you see me select the default theme and its play cursor which is immediately visible in play mode.

Below Play Cursor Color, in Theme Editor, is Play Cursor Fill Mode. Play with that 'til you get it how you like it.
