Not allowing custom cursors

[mtate007]

In version 156 I was able to use custom cursors for mouse overs in the .css files.

cursor: url(path to cursor/cursor.cur); /* Add a mouse pointer on hover */

This is no longer working in version 157b. Does anyone have an idea why?

If I format it the same as you, does not work... If I use a css scriptwriter to format it, works fine...

cursor: url('path to cursor/cursor.cur'), auto;

Not sure why it stopped working, but your fix worked. Kind of. I still could not get the paths working. I had to end up including my cursor in my css folder. Not really what I wanted to do, but whatever, it works right?

This is actually what I had before.... cursor: url(../../../../images/cursor.cur);

I tried with your changes..... cursor: url('../../../../images/cursor.cur'), auto; and no go.

So I ended up just using this..... cursor: url('cursor.cur'), auto;

Thanks again for your help.

I don't normally use file type CUR for this. CUR are normally installed in the OS. I like using PNG or GIF and now SVG for there transparency backgrounds and abilities to be modified using CSS coding.

Mozilla developer says to use it with a fallback such as auto, pointer so on.. CSS advanced with the browser wars so it's normal that change-is-good... ya.. any way, I did it by placing a CUR file in includes/templates/MY_TEMPLATE/images/icons/some.cur Then in my CSS file I placed .switch_label {cursor: url('../images/icons/some.cur'), auto; }
For more info see the Mozilla documents.
