Hi Doitsu,

Thanks for testing it! Any gtk3 theme using desktop on Linux (and possibly other Linux Desktops) should have a setting somewhere for cursor blink that Qt will inherit and use. Ditto for Windows as Qt should inherit the system settings. Unfortunately on OSX there is no system setting that Qt will inherit.

This environment variable should work on all platforms but should only be truly needed on Mac OSX as users of all other systems should be able to control this easier from their system settings.

So your Linux system, is there a way to control the cursor blink rate at the Desktop/system level and does Qt properly use it? Or do you need to use this environment variable?
