About
"Ever lost sight of the little caret, the thin blinking vertical line used to indicate where the next character you type in is going to show up on the screen? If so, you might have experimented with the blinking rate to make it more conspicuous. If that is not enough for you, this little system extension could be helpful. It draws the caret with a line two or three pixels wide instead of only one pixel, the system default. This works in all fields that use the system routines for TextEdit (both with and without styles). They are usually used in dialog fields (e.g. search/replace), save dialogs, file names in the Finder, and text windows in TeachText and SimpleText." In the attachment called caretPatch10.sit (StuffIt archive, 8k, binhexed for transfer) you'll find the two versions of the extension and the description, a SimpleText document: caretPatch (2 pixels) (5k) caretPatch (3 pixels) (5k) caretPatch 1.0 Read me (8k) This should replace the earlier version (v0.2) found in gui/caret-patch.hqx It should probably called "caret-patch-10.hqx".
