I disagree: one can both select text (highlighting it to operate on it) and
highlight the text (e.g., through syntax highlighting).

But I guess one could argue that this is a WYSIWYG thing and the only

Interesting, yes, the options are different when that checkbox is selected
(I would have expected them to remain the same but be overridden by the
system colors). Furthermore, unchecking that box (which is checked, by
default, I believe), permits me to change colors for items like the shaded

I am confused now. Yes, you can change the cursor color in the current
version of LyX. And the checked Use System Settings checkbox is visible
in Joel's screenshot. If it is unchecked the cursor color can be
changed. But I suggest to abandon this option and go for an inverted
cursor color.
Da
Then it would mean that the change can be done in system prefs.
