mouse cursor does not work

[danny]

and one additional question: how can the cursor be transparent (have no white background) ?
thanksss

[arminunruh]

hello! you may be able to use a png or svg

i see you already used a png but you used one with a white background and its too big.

[arminunruh]

your png is too big

[danny]

thanks @arminunruh I resized it - now it only appears when I move the mouser over a link. I thought it would appear all the time. So it replaces the standard mouse. Or is that not possible?

[arminunruh]

ah thats weird! this used to work before. you're right. will be fixed with the next update!

[danny]

thanks @arminunruh! do you know already when the next update will be released ?

[arminunruh]

i released it yesterday

u can see it here

thanks @arminunruh it works now. I re-sized the png in "Edit Media" to 56 x 24 px but somehow it doesn't seem to apply. And the cursor does not really work with the links. Is that happening because of its form?

[arminunruh]

hello!

mouse cursor shows up forf me, on links too!
please upload a new file that has the correct dimensions instead of resizing it in edit media.

[arminunruh]

if the mouse cursor doesn't show up: what browser are you using?

[danny]

hi @arminunruh thanks! i changed the size and made it transparent, so the signature appears. but the cursor doesn't react to the links. nothing happens when I move over the links. I tried from two different desktops.

do you have an idea why it does not work?

hey there is no custom cursor setting for links only

what did you expect for links?
did you write css that changes the cursor on links?

[danny]

thanks. no, I didn't write any css concerning the cursor. I guess the cursor does not react to the links because of its form, right?

[arminunruh]

i mean the cursor is your custom cursor. even when the cursor is on top of a link, it stays your custom image.

thats how i see it. is this what you wanted?
im actually not too sure about how you want the cursor to be.

or did you want the custom cursor to turn into a normal one like this:

if you wanted that behaviour, you can use this css:

a, .lay-textformat-parent a{
cursor: pointer!important;
}

i added this css to your site in lay options -> custom css & html now

if i was you, i would also adjust the 2 values here that are currently set to 0:

so the cursor feels more natural. cause now you will see the cursor jumps quite a lot when it switches to the normal pointer cursor on mac.

[arminunruh]

i will actually add this setting to the customizer section for the next update:

hi @arminunruh danke dir. Ich meinte nicht, das der Cursor eine andere Form bekommt. Anscheinend funktioniert diese Strichzeichnung als Cursor nicht, da sie nur aus Linien besteht. Meine Frage war ja nur, dass dieser Cursor-Form (die Strichzeichnung) nicht auf die Links reagiert, also die Links sich nicht klicken lassen. Macht das Sinn? Müsst der Cursor also eine geschlossene Form (wie die Hand) sein, damit sich die Links klicken lassen? Danke dir !

[arminunruh]

you mean the links are not clickable?
can you create a video of that, i cant reproduce this, the links are clickable for me:

[danny]

yes. now it works actually :) but I think it doesn't work if we would take out the css for the cursor. then the cursor would always be the signature (die Strichzeichnung) and not change to the hand.

[arminunruh]

yea u need to enable this setting
