Custom Cursor Pointer

[fabiocs]

I would like to make my custom a cursor bigger that 36px x 36px, I read that is possible using .cur file, but this is not supported on wordpress.

Is there a way for this to work ???

website:

code used:
body {
cursor: url("http://www.pazulloa.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Estrella-cursor.png"), auto;
}
a { cursor: url("http://www.pazulloa.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Estrella-cursor-hoover.png"), auto;
}

Re: Custom Cursor Pointer - png?

Hi all,
I am trying to create a custom cursor that looks and behaves like a light source. Until now I am straggling to get the image as png working. Any suggestions?

Code I used:

body, a, img {
cursor: url (https:/link and name.png) 4 12, auto;
}

Dear @djourina

Maybe this is it: when calling a cursor source from a URL you must have it within parentheses ' ' :

E.g:

cursor:url('http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/de/POL_apple.jpg');

Hey, the solutions in the forum haven't worked for me yet, so i am asking individually:
I want to apply a custom curser, which does not work on linked imaged (the little white hand cursor keeps appearing).
It bothers me most on my landing page with a carousel, all the images have links.

my custom css:

body, a, img {
cursor: url(https://norakeilig.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/cursi-1-e1701094228969.png), pointer;
}

Can someone help?
Super happy with laytheme besides that :)

body, a, img {
cursor: url(https://norakeilig.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/cursi-1-e1701094228969.png), pointer !important;
}

try with !important; does it work?

Thank you Armin, unfortunately, it doesn't work at all anymore.
If I set a cursor in Customize or in the CSS - I only see the normal hand now.
Some days ago I had a customized curser at least in some parts of the page. what went wrong?

[arminunruh]

can u use a smaller image, try that please

your image is 256 x 256 its too big i think

[arminunruh]

just use the dot as the image. it will be like 10 x 10 pixels

On my carousel with linked images it still shows the hand. But everywhere else it works, thank you!

[arminunruh]

body, a, img, .lay-carousel a img {
cursor: url(https://norakeilig.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/cursi-1-e1701094228969.png), pointer !important;
