How can I create customized object instead of mouse arrow?

**kutay** · 23 September 2009, 08:42 PM

I want visitors who visit my webpage to have customized object instead of arrow when they move their mouses. Normally mouse icon is an arrow, but I want it to disappear when my webpage is entered. Instead of it, I would like it to be replaced by a magic steak (magic wand).
How can I do that in XWD?

Hi,

create a placeholder and set the name to <head>.
Put the following code in the section "Replace with HTML-Code"

<STYLE TYPE="text/css">
body {
cursor:url(index_htm_files/lupe.cur), auto
}
</STYLE>

You need a cursor-file in the index_htm_files directory, in my example it is lupe.cur.

Thanks Sebastian for your quick help.

I am a newbie. So I need you to be much clearer.
How will I set the name to <head> ? Will I add a row in the HTML with the heading named <head>?

I think I will have to draw the object by using the XWD tool first and then save it as the magicwand.cur file?

Sorry for my questions, but I am very new in web designing.

Unfortunately you cannot save a.cur file with Xtreme. You will need special software for this file format.

Please try a search for naming placeholders to add code to the head of a web document.
This has been discussed many times at TG and we should really not need to keep repeating it.
Kutay it is polite to ask for help rather than your more demanding "I am a newbie. So I need you to be much clearer" which comes across as rather impertinent.

Back to .cur files and the CSS.
Have a look here for a little more information which could be helpful.

Thanks for the answer, Sledger. I will try to implement it.
