How can I change the caret in TextMate with my Mac?

Is there a way to change the caret from a thin, vertical line to a block? I'd like to make it easier to see.

I just spent about an hour within the TextMate 2.0.23 application bundle, and with Google, and though I see that the caret color is governed by the Theme bundle, I saw no place to change the caret, or that it was using different caret styles that could be interchangeable. I installed the LaTeX bundle, changed the font, and increased the font size to 14 pt, and that did not improve the visibility of that vertical caret which is a pale #A7A7A7 gray.


I think you need to contact macromates and ask how or if it is possible to alter the caret shape, or if there are n-tuple caret styles, which one, and again how to alter it.
