Is it possible to customize the style and shape of cursor?

[DOSforever]

Right now there is only one cursor style for both insert mode and overlay mode.
How to customize the style and/or shape of the respective console Text Cursor in the different modes of insert and overstrike?

Please note that the actual terminal emulator app that Cmder uses is ConEmu, and it doesn't appear to support different cursor styles based on the "insert" mode:

You may also ask the author if they can implement this, however @Maximus5 has not been active for quite a while; they will not likely add this feature to ConEmu.

However, Cmder supports alternative terminal emulators, such as Windows Terminal, which is a modern and better alternative for ConEmu, if you are on Windows 10 or 11.

Please follow the guide above to see if you prefer integrating Cmder with Windows Terminal, instead of the built-in ConEmu.

Doing a quick search, it appears that WT doesn't allow customizing the exact shape for the insert mode, although it makes a distinction by switching from the ▂ shape to █ shape when it is on.
