Hey, anybody downloaded Xcode 7.3 beta 2, and tried to replace the cursor but found no *cursor.tiff under the directory?

Great project!

For later Xcode versions (like 5.1.1), the path is different:

 /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/SharedFrameworks/DVTKit.framework/Versions/A/Resources/DVTIbeamCursor.tiff

Thanks again!

$ cp $XCODE_RESOURCE_PATH/DVTIbeamCursor.tiff $XCODE_RESOURCE_PATH/backup-DVTIbeamCursor.tiff
cp: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/SharedFrameworks/DVTKit.framework/Resources/backup-DVTIbeamCursor.tiff: Permission denied

I would prefer:
sudo mv $XCODE_RESOURCE_PATH/DVTIbeamCursor.tiff $XCODE_RESOURCE_PATH/backup-DVTIbeamCursor.tiff

Hi,

I used your .tiff file with Mousecape to create an Ibeam cursor that I could see while hovering over a black Terminal window(Pro style). However, your .tiff image creates a cursor that is about 10 times the size of the normal Ibeam cursor. Is the Ibeam gargantuan in Xcode as well?

Aha! The solution is to drag the .tiff file onto the box labeled '2x' in Mousecape.

The steps to fix the cursor don't seem to work with Xcode 8...

Any timeframe on an Xcode 8 solution?

Thanks!!!

I think it would extremely helpful to adjust the color of the blinking hotspot (where the last click was registered), as well. Right now, it's black, so it's almost impossible to find.

Hi there,

This trick does not seem to work 100% with the new XCode 6, after modifying the cursor tiff file I can see the change but right after I start typing code, the cursor turn back to black and stay black until you move it to some area that force the cursor to change. I suspect there are some other places to hold the cursor for code typing.

Do you have any solution for this issue?

Thanks

This is probably entirely too early in the game to be requesting this, but getting the patch to work on Xcode 8 would be awesome
