OSC 114 Reset Pointer Background Color
Put the pointer background color back as it started.
OSC 114 ST
OSC 114 ST puts the color of the mouse pointer’s outline, the part of an X cursor drawn in its second color, OSC 14, back as the terminal started it, undoing any change made with OSC 14 ; Pt ST. xterm resets it to the value it started with (ResetColorsRequest).
It takes no parameter. xterm ignores an OSC 114 that carries anything after the number, OSC 114 ; 1 ST say, as a malformed sequence (do_osc); an empty one, OSC 114 ; ST, is the same as none.
libghostty-vt has no such color, and ignores OSC 14 and OSC 114, so the case that asks is a known difference.
