Changing default "pointer" cursor


Cless

Recommended Posts

I'm already aware of how to change default cursor on the site (put "cursor: url(imageurl.cur), auto;" in the body), but I needed to know: how do you change the default pointer value, instead of going through all scripts and putting "cursor: url(pointer.cur), pointer;"?

 

That way, if I did something such as:

 

.class
{
cursor: pointer;
}

 

...instead of using the default pointer image (which is the hand), it would use the custom pointer.

 

Thanks!

I don't think you can actually replace the default pointer as in, use this one instead of the pointer from now on.

You could use a comma seperated list for all values instead of adding it to each one though.

.class, #unique, a { cursor: pointer; }

You should reconsider changing the entire cursor! This is against basic web design. Keep things consistent/normal for users. Did you ever try shopping on a website, where the "shopping cart" is a wheelbarrow? I hope you didn't because it confused me like hell. Changing the cursor is the same idea.
