Hi All! I changed my cursor using a custom code that I found on this forum and it works well, but I would like to change also the hand cursor that appears on links. According to CSS I should be using default instead of auto but that doesn’t work. Anyone can help?

This is the custom code that I am using:

Head:

body { cursor:url(https://static.wixstatic.com/media/4b7ae0_b9b6ea86103c440eb13f1f2a5ac734c6~mv2.png), default !important; }

End-Body

Thank you!

I won’t say it’s completely impossible, but it’s definitely not trivial, and you’ll have to look into the page html/css/js code in order to understand what can be done. Imho it’s not worth it.
You can also create your own elements using an iframe or a custom element and set the cursor as you wish.

Hi, thank you for your reply!

Regarding looking into HTML/CSS/js, I thought that the hand coming out was standard behavior of the cursor that if not specified automatically turns into a hand when on links (which should be auto, while on W3 is explained that by setting it on default it should just keep the same one all the time). Anyway, let’s say something happens and I find it on the code, how could I change that? By writing another custom code?

Regarding iframe or custom elements, that would be good but do you know how I could do that? I am used to making websites by coding them directly and I am a bit confused about how to interact with Wix. (also, I am comfortable with HTML and CSS but very basic on js that’s why I tried with custom code first)

Have a good day :slight_smile:

@cinziaisabelferrari re the first question, it depends on how Wix does it under the hood (as I said earlier, I don’t think you should go in this direction).

Re iframe/custom element see:
