Steer from iOS text becomes unreadable on hover in dark mode

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

When hovering over the disabled “Steer from iOS” card on the Cursor welcome screen while using dark mode, the text color changes to a very dark/black color. This creates extremely low contrast against the dark card background and makes the label almost unreadable.

Steps to Reproduce

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open Cursor in dark mode.
  2. Navigate to the welcome/start screen.
  3. Hover over the disabled “Steer from iOS” card.

Expected Behavior

Expected behavior: The disabled text should retain sufficient contrast and remain readable when hovered.

Actual behavior: The text becomes nearly black on a dark background, making it difficult to read.

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey @mountzou

You’re right - the “Steer from iOS” card loses contrast on hover in dark mode, and it’s not something on your end.

You can get rid of it, though: the card isn’t actually disabled, it’s clickable. Clicking it opens a short intro dialog, and once you’ve opened it the card won’t appear on the welcome screen again.

Thank you Mohit for the response.

I know it’s a minor UI issue and that I can get rid of it. However, as a happy user of Cursor, I just wanted to raise it so it can hopefully be addressed in one of the next updates.
