Can someone help with hiding the custom cursor div in Webflow until the mouse cursor is on the website viewport or starts moving?
To hide a custom cursor div in Webflow until the mouse cursor is on the website viewport or starts moving, you can follow these steps:
Add the custom cursor div: In Webflow, you can add a custom cursor by creating a new div block and styling it as desired. This div block will serve as the cursor element on your website.
Hide the custom cursor div by default: By default, you'll want to hide the custom cursor div so that it's not visible until the mouse cursor enters the website viewport. To do this, you can set the initial state of the custom cursor div to "display: none" or set its opacity to 0.
Set up interactions: Webflow offers interactions that allow you to create dynamic animations and effects. You can use interactions to control the visibility of the custom cursor div based on the mouse movement.
Trigger the custom cursor div to appear: You can use an interaction trigger to make the custom cursor div appear when the mouse cursor enters the website viewport or starts moving.
- Select the element or elements that will trigger the appearance of the custom cursor div (e.g., the body or any specific element).
- Go to the Interactions panel and create a new interaction.
- Set the trigger to "Mouse move" or "Mouse enter."
- Add an action to show the custom cursor div. You can set the display property to "block" or change the opacity to 1.
- Preview and test the interaction to ensure the custom cursor div appears as expected when the mouse cursor enters the viewport or starts moving.
- Fine-tune the interaction settings: Depending on your desired behavior, you can adjust the interaction settings to control when the custom cursor div should disappear.
- Set a delay: You can introduce a delay before hiding the custom cursor div after the mouse cursor stops moving. This can prevent it from disappearing too quickly.
- Set a fade-out animation: Instead of instantly hiding the custom cursor div, you can add an animation to gradually fade it out. This can create a smoother transition.
By following these steps, you can achieve the desired effect of hiding the custom cursor div in Webflow until the mouse cursor enters the website viewport or starts moving.
