How can I fix my custom cursor in Webflow so that it remains visible and doesn't hide behind images on the page? Alternatively, how can I revert back to the default cursor?
To fix a custom cursor so that it remains visible and doesn't hide behind images on your Webflow page, you can follow these steps:
- Check the z-index: By default, the z-index determines the stacking order of elements on a webpage. Make sure that the custom cursor has a higher z-index value than the images it might be hiding behind. To do this in Webflow:
- Select the element that represents your custom cursor.
- In the Style panel, find the z-index property and increase its value to bring the cursor above other elements.
- Use pseudo elements: Another approach is to use pseudo elements (::before or ::after) to create the cursor effect, instead of relying on an actual cursor image. This ensures that the cursor remains on top of other elements without the need for adjusting z-index values. Here's how you can do it:
- Select the element that you want to have the cursor effect on.
- In the Style panel, navigate to the element's Selector field.
- Click on the "+" button and select the pseudo element (::before or ::after).
- Apply the desired styling to the pseudo element, such as setting its content to an icon or shape.
- Adjust the width, height, position, and any other necessary properties to create the desired cursor effect.
To revert back to the default cursor in Webflow, follow these steps:
Select the element: Identify the element or elements on which you want to remove the custom cursor and revert to the default cursor.
Remove or adjust the custom cursor styling: In the Style panel, locate the cursor property for the selected element. By default, this property is set to "auto," which displays the default cursor. If you previously set a custom cursor using a URL or any other value, remove or modify it to "auto" to restore the default cursor behavior.
Remember to publish your changes and test the website to ensure that the cursor behaves as intended.
