How to change the cursor color in SQL developer

I am using SQL Developer with a dark background theme ('classic'), which is really nice. However, the cursor is hard to see, since it has a color (grey?) that is very similar to the background color (blue).

Is there a way to change the color of the cursor?

Many thanks in advance!
