@DHowett @mattwojo sorry to dig this old thread up, but if I do a `printf %b '\e]12;red\a'`, should I expect the cursor color to change to red?  Using terminal preview version 1.16.2641.0, doing the above in wsl, I don't see the cursor color changing.  It retains the original color specified via the color theme in the settings.

Interestingly enough, if I lock my screen (Windows-L) and unlock it the cursor has then changed its color.

after locking and unlocking:

I bet we don't do an invalidate of the screen.

Nah I dunno what this is. We should move this over to the Terminal repo cause I see this too. Even with the rgb: specs too.

(from MicrosoftDocs/terminal#620)

Version number unknown.

printf '\e]12;red\a Foo bar' ; sleep 3
printf '\e]12;rgb:ff/00/00\a Foo bar' ; sleep 3

@echo off
if (%1)==() (goto :usage)
if (%2)==() (goto :usage)
if (%3)==() (goto :usage)

@rem this is a literal ESC and BEL in this next line
echo �]12;rgb:%1/%2/%3�
goto :EOF

:usage
echo Usage: cursor-color ^<red^> ^<green^> ^<blue^>
echo     where red, green, blue are color components in hex
echo     Ex: cursor-color FF 00 FF will set the cursor to �[38;2;255;0;255mMagenta�[0m
echo:

:EOF
