No, the IDE does not (yet) have that options (patches welcome / maybe 
also a not focused color?)

SynEdit has 2 different caret handlers: System / Internal

The default for SynEdit is system, but if multi caret is added, it 
changes to internal (the IDE has multi caret)

System can not be modified (well may depend on OS). System (at least on 
win) allows only one caret per app (so an app with 2 SynEdit can still 
only have one caret)

Internal can be modified, or at least that can be added.
Internal does not (yet) follow the system blink rate.
