Some user interface elements cannot be hidden.

To enhance cursor visibility, set the application background colour between 40% and 60% grey, it is automatically changed to 40% grey.

The Automatic colour setting changes the user interface element to the preset colour from the colour scheme.

The colour settings for "Visited links" and "Unvisited links" only apply to documents created after the settings are applied.
