Xcode cursor on dark backgrounds

Summary:
In Xcode 8 and 7 I-Beam cursor is hardly visible on dark backgrounds. It is painful to use newly introduced "Civic" color theme where many times during programming I can't find my cursor.
3rd-party solution to work around this problem can be found here: https://github.com/egold/better-xcode-ibeam-cursor.  390 stars and 34 forks of this repo convinces me I'm not the only one with this problem.
Furthermore, since Xcode 7.3 it is a lot more complicated to replace cursor file. 
Xcode 8 is still in beta and I believe it would be awesome for many developers to see a fix for this problem before the final release.

Versions:
Version 8.0 beta (8S128d)
Version 7.3 (7D175)
