Another approach to this would be to give a more visible prompt as a 
standard option. It is quite easy to add an alternative in the options 
menu for this. I think it would fit very well below or above "Blinking 
Cursor" since it has kind of the same spirit.

So I would suggest something in the menubar like "Options - More 
Noticeable Prompt" below "Blinking Cursor".

Or, maybe just "Customize Prompt Face".
