How do I change my colored cursor back to black on Mac mini?

My cursor has taken on my highlight colour. How do I get rid of this and get back to a thin black cursor like the last thirty years?

Thanks for trying but I have spent a couple of hours on the telephone with Apple and tried changing the settings in System Settings. It cannot be fixed in Sequoia.

For what it's worth, your problem has nothing to do with Sequoia.


If you open System Settings > Display > Pointer and click the "Reset Colors" button, it should change to black with a white outline. If it doesn't, there's something wrong with your install.
