blinking cursor color

Is there a way to change the blinking cursor color(caret)?
In the tutorial it shows the it being the same color as the windowtext color.(red on a light blue background)
This seems to be true except when using gray as the window color(rbg 128,128,128)
I see the caret is listed in left tree but is a property that needs to be added.
If this can be added what properties would be needed?

Googled it and found this:
"For most controls the caret doesn't have a "color". It inverts the color of the pixels behind it - white becomes black, blue becomes yellow, etc."

ok,I see.
I guess that's my issue,128 gray inverted is still 128 grey,
it must be the exact center of the white to black range!
So my options would be,either choose a lighter gray for the window color and have it show as a slightly darker gray or vise versa?
