Blurry custom cursors in Safari – Any way to get vector-sharp quality?

[Dawid]

Has anyone found a solid workaround for the custom cursor scaling issue in Safari?

I’m trying to get cursors to render in high quality—ideally pin-sharp, just like a vector file. I was wondering if it's possible to use fonts for this?

It’s incredibly frustrating because creating custom cursors for things like carousels (e.g., using "NEXT" / "PREVIOUS" text as a cursor) currently feels impossible. The text ends up looking pixelated and blurry, which ruins the UI.

@arminunruh – do you know if there’s any way to force Safari to render these properly?

Thanks!

ok so even though svg's can be used as cursors, yea safari doesn't render them sharp, which is a safari thing unfortunately.

i will need to code this in a way, where the cursor can actually be a HTML/Dom Element instead of using the normal cursor CSS

[arminunruh]

ok so customize → cursor,
lightbox addon cursor setting,
carousel addon cursor setting,
fullscreen slider cursor setting,

they will all get this new checkbox:

if u enable this for all of these, the cursors will be sharp
update will be released some time this week

[arminunruh]

ok i released the update. please update lay theme and all lay plugins and enable this setting.

it will be enough to enable the setting in one place, as it became a global setting now, but with multiple checkboxes at different places to enable it

and also make sure to use svg cursors then

Great news! I was away for a moment - I'll check it out right away :) Thx

@arminunruh I’ve tested the feature and it’s working - the cursors look perfect now :) However, I’m experiencing some lag, and the mouse cursor stutters when switching between pages. Could this be a conflict with the fullscreen slider?

seems like an issue with fullscreen slider and lay theme. will be fixed with the next lay theme update

Thx @arminunruh . I updated it and it's better, but the problem still persists. :)

[arminunruh]

ok let me check it out

[arminunruh]

Hey so I guess this problem still persists, right?
I haven't found the time yet to fix this.

[arminunruh]

okay, so I actually can't reproduce this.
Can you make sure to update to the latest version of Lay Theme, and if that doesn't fix it, can you send me your website address, WordPress admin panel login (meaning username and password), and a link to this topic to info@laytheme.com?
