In Home directory :

.gtkrc-2.0-kde4 :

Contents :

--------------
include "/usr/share/themes/oxygen-gtk/gtk-2.0/gtkrc"
include "/etc/gtk-2.0/gtkrc"

gtk-theme-name="oxygen-gtk"
--------------

"/etc/gtk-2.0/gtkrc" : No caret information , but there is line :
gtk-cursor-theme-name = "Adwaita"

"/usr/share/themes/oxygen-gtk/gtk-2.0/gtkrc" : No caret information

Perhaps , it is necessary to set some property / variable in my program
related to form definition /creations , but which one I do not know .

For example , in Delphi , OutText is opaque , but in Lazarus it was
transparent because a variable was set to False as default . When that
variable is set to True , Lazarus compiled OutText started to write opaque
also .

There may be such a variable , but what and where it is , I do not know .

I tried to find such a variable in SynEdit , but , SynEdit is very
complicated , and I am not using any part of it , and also I do not know
its internals .

Lazarus is setting that variable ( unknown to me ) that it is blinking the
caret .


Thank you very much .
