+color-cursor
+============
+
+
+
+Description
+-----------
+Turns your cursor's background into whatever color the character you're currently on is (much like alacritty). Some say the effeect is very appealing:)
+
+Notes
+-----
+
+~~Might be~~ Is incomplete - I'm new and suggestions are very welcome!
+
+- Default cursor is not shown (e.g. in (neo)vim INSERT mode)
+- Probably not all cases yet covered
+- Magic numbers used - would probably be best to avoid
+- Performance degradation considerations?
