... Or you could just ask nicely if one of the authors could give you an option. Qt can both adjust the thickness of the cursor, and the style (i.e block cursor).

A lot of these small windows settings are actually rather problematic to support on the Qt side of things, either they are stored in cryptic registry locations or in undocumented bitmasks (problems with either will result in unexpected behavior rather than just not working, which is at least less frustrating). As such it's more often left to the application developer to deal with.
