To add a custom cursor that only shows on image elements in a collection list or grid on a shop page in Webflow, you can follow these steps:
- Create a custom cursor image:
- Design your custom cursor image using an image editing software (e.g., Photoshop, Sketch, Figma).
- Save the image with a transparent background in a format such as PNG or SVG.
- Upload the custom cursor image to Webflow:
- Go to the Webflow Designer.
- Open the Assets panel by clicking the "Assets" tab on the right side of the screen.
- Click the "Upload" button and select your custom cursor image file.
- Once uploaded, click on the image to copy its URL.
- Add custom code to your project:
Go to the Webflow Designer.
Open the Custom Code settings by clicking the "Page settings" icon (three dots) in the top-right corner of the screen and selecting "Custom Code."
In the "Head Code" section, paste the following code:
```html
```
Replace
[IMAGE_URL]
with the URL of your custom cursor image that you copied in step 2.
- Apply the custom cursor to the image elements:
- Go to your shop page in the Designer.
- Select the collection list or grid where you want the custom cursor to appear.
- Add a new class to the collection list or grid by clicking the "Selector" field in the Style panel and entering a class name (e.g.,
.custom-cursor
). - With the new class selected, go to the "Cursor" setting in the Style panel.
- Choose the "Custom" option and enter
auto
in the fallback input field.
Now, your custom cursor should only appear when hovering over image elements within the collection list or grid on your shop page in Webflow.
Example: You can see how this technique is implemented in a live demo here.
