NSTextField - White text on black background, but black cursor

Question

I\'ve setup an NSTextField with text color as white, and the background color as (black despite not rendering the background color, so its transparent). All in

If you use Objective-C runtime selector capture combined with uliwitness's solution, you can achieve it without subclassing NSTextField, here I use RxCocoa's methodInvoked as an example:

import Cocoa
import RxCocoa

extension NSTextField {
    func withCursorColor(_ color: NSColor) {
        rx.methodInvoked(#selector(becomeFirstResponder))
            .subscribe(onNext: { [unowned self] _ in
                guard let editor = self.currentEditor() as? NSTextView else { return }
                editor.insertionPointColor = color
            })
            .disposed(by: rx.disposeBag)
    }
}
