I recently had difficulty making what I thought would be a simple map due to the transparent red cursor color. I was making the map using Parchment World. I had selected a parchment style backdrop and the transparent red cursor was nearly invisible when using the masking tool to try and sculpt rivers in the map. I was using the smaller settings to try and make the map larger to meet my preferences and this was very difficult to do. I wish there was an option for a different color to use at times so that the cursor is not lost when using lighter backgrounds.
