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

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 -
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
I also code custom websites or custom Lay features.
