Better Xcode ibeam cursor

Better i-beam (text cursor) for Xcode for dark background / light text color themes.

Important note for Xcode 7.3+ users!

The file that controls the i-beam cursor is no longer a flat .tiff file, but rather part of an assets bundle called Assets.car. Please see issue #16's thread for a manual workaround. Thanks go out to @cjheng, @allen-zeng, @sokobania, and @ebaker355 for helping find and solve the issue. I'm looking forward to getting this working in an automated way in the future.

Directions for pre-7.3 versions of Xcode

Directions:

The easy way

curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/egold/better-xcode-ibeam-cursor/master/install.sh | bash

The manual way

For Xcode 7.2.1 and earlier:

1. Clone this repository (or fork it if you want to customize the tiff yourself!)
2. Create a backup of /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/SharedFrameworks/DVTKit.framework/Resources/DVTIbeamCursor.tiff
3. Copy (sudo cp) the tiff to /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/SharedFrameworks/DVTKit.framework/Resources/DVTIbeamCursor.tiff
4. Restart Xcode

For Xcode 7.3 and later:

1. Clone this repository (the lines below assume you've cloned to your home directory)
2. Create a backup of /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/SharedFrameworks/DVTKit.framework/Resources/Assets.car
3. Patch the Assets.car file with the appropriate patch:

cd /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/SharedFrameworks/DVTKit.framework/Resources
sudo bspatch Assets.car Assets.car ~/better-xcode-ibeam-cursor/patches/Assets.car-Xcode-7.3.bspatch

4. Restart Xcode

You should now have an i-beam that is more easy to see on a dark or black background.

Background

I find it more enjoyable to code with the Midnight color theme in Xcode, but found myself always hunting for the cursor, especially on a large monitor. I found a pretty good TIFF someone created, so I cleaned up a bit of the outline thickness and posted it here!
