I am running version 2.14 and if possible don't wish to upgrade right now. I have noticed that the crosshair cursor in edit mode is the same color as the background, grey.. It's very difficult to keep track of it, the only way is when it intersects one of the black grid lines.. Has anyone else had this problem, and is thre a way to fix it? Thanks..

In windows?

Just go to the control panel, go to the mouse settings and change your 'precision select' pointer to something more suitable to your needs
