Custom Cursor / Mouse

Hi!, I have the code to change the cursor of my web page, but now I need that when the cursor is over a category or text it hovers. The effect I want is similar to this page https://rafalbojar.com/  . I also attach files of how the effect looks.

My website is https://www.diegphoto.com/ and the code that I already used is this: 

body, html, * {
     cursor: url(https://static1.squarespace.com/static/62ec9420d1df13083dc8f4ad/t/63a1bdedcf2ca4775ddbddbe/1671544301258/orange-circlepeque%C3%B1o2.png), auto !important;
   }

Thank you in advance!

I check that your cursor works properly now. Have you figured it out?

I find in the forum another code that it has the hover effect. The problem is that the hover doesn't work in button forms. also when the cursor is on the white background of the contact form, it disappears. The page is https://www.diegphoto.com/contacto 

Here is the new code 

In Design > Custom CSS

@media ( hover: none ) {

  .cursor {
  
    display: none !important;
    
    }
  }

* {

  cursor: none;
  
  }

.cursor {

  --size: 10px;
  
  height: var( --size );
  width: var( --size );
  
  border-radius: 50%;
  pointer-events: none;
  position: absolute;
  transform: translate( -50%, -50% );
  z-index: 99999999999;
  
  }

.cursor.cursor-dot {

  background: #ed4c00; /* This defines the color of the cursor */
  mix-blend-mode: screen; /* Delete this line if you dont want the circle to invert */
  transition: width 0.6s, height 0.6s, background-color 0.6s;
  transition-timing-function: ease-out;
  
  }

.cursor-dot.active {

  --size: 50px;
  
  background-color: #ed4c00;
  
  }

Try modifying a little on your above code

<script>

  $( ( ) => {
  
    $( 'body' ).prepend ( '<div class="cursor cursor-dot" style="left: 0px; top: 0px;">' );
  
    $( window ).mousemove ( function ( e ) {
    
      $( '.cursor' ).css ( {
      
        left: e.pageX,
        top: e.pageY
        
        } );
        
      } );
      
    $( window ).mousemove ( function ( e ) {
    
      $( 'a, input.button' ).on ( 'mouseenter', function ( ) {
        
        $( '.cursor' ).addClass ( 'active' );
        
        } );
        
      } );
      
    $( window ).mousemove ( function ( e ) {
    
      $( 'a, input.button' ).on ( 'mouseleave', function ( ) {
      
        $( '.cursor' ).removeClass ( 'active' );
        
        } );
        
      } );
      
    } );
    
  </script>

This is the difference between the previous code with new

Hope it makes sense

Yes! That solves the problem with form buttons. But there is still the problem that the mouse disappears on the white background of the contact. I think the problem is the 'mix-blend-mode: screen' but I don't know the solution.

I think it does not disappear but looks very transparent.

Try deleting this code

It solves the problem but now the hover effect is opaque. I also noticed that the hover effect of the mouse don't work in lightbox.

@Beyondspace I have figured out how to fix the hover effect. The only thing that is missing is when you are viewing an image in the lightbox, the hover effect doesn't work in the arrows and the x. Thank you!

Hi, I have tried to use your codes above but the standard "hand" cursor is visible when hovering over navigation, how can I fix this? I also want the colour change to be gradual and smooth like the cursor size transition, now it just changes instantly. How can I achieve this?

@Beyondspace

Thanks!

What is your site url? We can check easier

@tuanphan Hi! Same issue as @TJC123 I successfully used the above code for a custom cursor on my site but the pointer cursor is appearing over most of my links. It doesn't appear when hovering over the logo and social icons but I think those are the only spots. 

I played around with adding this code but it changes it back to the arrow instead:

.header-nav *, nav.header-menu-nav-list * {
cursor: default !important;
  }

Thank you!!!

Which exact code did you use?

@tuanphan

Design > Cusom CSS

@media ( hover: none ) {

  .cursor {
  
    display: none !important;
    
    }
  }

* {

  cursor: none;
  
  }

.cursor {

  --size: 10px;
  
  height: var( --size );
  width: var( --size );
  
  border-radius: 50%;
  pointer-events: none;
  position: absolute;
  transform: translate( -50%, -50% );
  z-index: 99999999999;
  
  }

.cursor.cursor-dot {

  background: #ed4c00; /* This defines the color of the cursor */
  mix-blend-mode: screen; /* Delete this line if you dont want the circle to invert */
  transition: width 0.6s, height 0.6s, background-color 0.6s;
  transition-timing-function: ease-out;
  
  }

.cursor-dot.active {

I solved this using another thread: 

I changed this code:

In Settings > Advanced > Code Injection > FOOTER.  (slight difference and I don't necessarily think this is where the problem was)

<script>

  $( ( ) => {
  
    $( 'body' ).prepend ( '<div class="cursor cursor-dot" style="left: 0px; top: 0px;">' );
  
    $( window ).mousemove ( function ( e ) {
    
      $( '.cursor' ).css ( {
      
        left: e.pageX,
        top: e.pageY
        
        } );
        
      } );
      
    $( window ).mousemove ( function ( e ) {
    
      $( 'a' ).on ( 'mouseenter', function ( ) {
        
        $( '.cursor' ).addClass ( 'active' );
        
        } );
        
      } );
      
    $( window ).mousemove ( function ( e ) {
    
      $( 'a' ).on ( 'mouseleave', function ( ) {
      
        $( '.cursor' ).removeClass ( 'active' );
        
        } );
        
      } );
      
    } );
    
  </script>

And in Design > Custom CSS added:

* {
    cursor: none !important;
}
