Description eric.savary 2009-08-16 17:41:28 UTC 
On Windows XP/Vista, you can define the thickness of the text cursor under:
- XP: "Control Panel - Accessibility Options - Display - Cursor Options - Width"
- Vista: "Control Panel - Ease of Access - Optimize Visual Display - Make things
on the screen easier to see - Set the thickness of the blinking cursor".

This has no effect on the text cursor in OOo.

Note: Microsoft is also not very consistent in all his apps on this point.
While the thickness of the cursor is adapted everywhere in Word (Controls and
Text body) only the Controls get the new thickness in Wordpad (not the text body).

On OOo both UI and text cursors remain at the original width.
