P: Make the brush cursor easier to see (too thin, not enough contrast with some colors)

In last updates I'm having problem seeing brush (paint and healing) cursor when working with colors similar to cursor grey (grey or brown midtones for expamle).

Sometimes cursor changes to white, but for very short time and very randomly.

So it's really hard to see where I'm just gonna paint or heal. It is really annoying and tiring.

It would be very helpful if we could change the color of our working brushes, normal brush, clone stamp and spot removal. It would help to know which brush is active as well as giving the option of various colors to contrast with the subject material. Very often I find it difficult to find my brush when working on certain color backgrounds.

I'm finding that the brush tools are very hard to follow. They used to have a contrasting color, differentiating themselves from the tone/color of the background image. I'm using 20.0.8 and just uninstalled 21.1. - running on a Mac using Catalina. However, this same issue happened with Mojave as well. I must add the caveat that it seems to be an issue with my Mac cursor also. I repeatedly have to jostle the mouse to find the cursor. Thanks for any help.

On the gray areas the cursor's circle of
1px is black so almost invisible. I can no longer edit properly ! I'm on
Windows 10 PC with an 4K screen. Does anyone have the solution
???
I made an image to highlight the problem. It's a question of cursor thickness in the black version. It's too thin for a HD screen because the pixels are smaller...

On this video it's the same issue :

Why say you can no longer work properly ? Did you became a left hander yesterday?

Hi!We used to have that very function many, many versions ago, but a change in one of the OS, made this blending mode unavailable, I am not sure if it would be possible again, now that we have even newer OS versions...

Can you speak to ADOBE about this issue. I made an image to highlight the problem. It's a question of cursor thickness in the black version. It's too thin for a 4K screen!
