Sorry, it sounds like I didn't understand what you want.  Which parts
of the face do you want to be in the color of the cursor?  You said
"foreground" originally, but now it looks like you want the box itself
(which by default inherits the background color) to have that color.

If you do what I suggested above, and in addition check the check-box
"Inverse-video" and set its value to ON, do you get the desired
effect?
