Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

The system tray icon for cursor it’s really hard to see on Windows 11. It’s black on a dark background. Depending on the lighting in my room, it usually just looks like an empty space in the system tray. A white outline or something would help

Steps to Reproduce

Look at the system tray icon

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, thanks for the report - the visibility issue is clear. A black icon on a dark background is definitely a UX problem.

I’ll pass this to the team.
