F3 Visibility?

Post by KGA »

Sorry if someone else has posted about this but my boss asked me to find out if there is a way to fix it but when selecting F3 for the search the vehicle license plate and vehicle VIN it is very hard to see the curser wondering if this has been fixed? or if it will be fixed.
Thank you!

For Windows 7 do this:

Open 'Control Panel'
Select 'Ease of Access Center'
Select 'Make the computer easier to see'

In the section labeled 'Make things on the screen easier to see'
Put a check in 'Make the focus rectangle thicker'
Change the 'Set the thickness of the blinking cursor:' to the desired width - 5 seems to work well.

Click 'Apply' then 'OK'

Enjoy
