To change the cursor in Webflow so that it appears as an arrow when hovering over a specific area of the slider, you can follow these steps:

  1. Select the slider: In the Webflow Designer, click on the slider element that you want to modify.

  2. Go to the "Interactions" panel: On the right-hand side of the Designer, click on the "Interactions" tab to access the interaction settings for the slider.

  3. Add a new interaction: Click on the "+" button to add a new interaction to the slider.

  4. Select the trigger: Choose the appropriate trigger for the interaction. In this case, you would select the "Hover" trigger.

  5. Choose an element to affect: Click on the "Element to affect" field and choose the specific area of the slider that you want to change the cursor for. This could be an image, a text element, or a div block, for example.

  6. Set the action: Once you have selected the element to affect, choose the "Cursor" action from the list of available actions.

  7. Set the new cursor style: In the "New cursor style" field, enter "arrow" to set the cursor to appear as an arrow when hovering over the selected area of the slider.

  8. Preview and publish: Preview the interaction in the Designer to see how the cursor changes when hovering over the specified area. If everything looks as expected, publish your site to make the changes live.

Now, when users hover over the specified area of the slider, the cursor will appear as an arrow.

Additional Tips:

  • You can customize the cursor style by using different values for the "New cursor style" field. For example, you can use "pointer", "grab", or other CSS cursor values.
  • To change the cursor style for multiple areas or elements within the slider, you can repeat these steps for each individual element.

  • arrow
  • pointer
  • grab
