This topic is part of our CSS Tutorials and Add-ons section: https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=2077862




These codes can:
* give you a custom cursor and let you set new ones with CUR or JPG/PNG files
* fix/replace broken cursors and custom cursors


Choose what kind of cursor you want below, and paste the code found in the spoiler to the bottom of your CSS and your list should have a custom cursor. You can change it in a variety of ways with the instructions! Get more cursors here:

A sample of custom cursor pngs are here in this post:

You can download the images and rehost them on your own Imgur account where you'll get the direct link under Images.


More details and help at the bottom of the post under Custom Cursor Help.





Custom Cursor Codes


Single Custom Cursor



Cursor with CUR and PNG files




Cursor with PNG file






Alternating Link Cursors



Cursors with CUR and PNG files



Cursors with PNG files







Alternating Multi-color Cursor








Alternating Character Cursor







Animated Hatsune Miku Cursor

This is far more complicated than the other cursors, and is better for simple layouts because of the loading animation. It isn't really meant to be edited; you should probably be very experienced with list design if you want to edit it or even use it since it can be finicky. I combined multiple PNG cursors with CSS3 animation for the animated cursor effect.

Out of curiosity, is it possible to make it so you can have custom cursors based on the title of an anime (just when you hover the title). I already have something on my list that I can adjust to do it for data tags but when I tried adjusting it to titles I couldn't get it to work.

Yes, you need the anime number in these kind of codes and the cursor type in brackets

.data.title>a[href^="/anime/38101/"]:hover{
cursor: crosshair !important;

I don't see a way to use APNG or GIF atm in browsers for the cursor, so until then this is the only way I can see to have an animated cursor :(

@xycid

I will, but sadly the animated cursor and custom cursor in general has been slowly getting depreciated over the years everywhere :( used to be very simple and clean everywhere long ago

Also QUADRUPLE FROGS!!!!!!! 😁🐸

This animated Miku cursor used to work on my lists before; it animates when I open my lists then stays still. Now, it no longer animates.

@IridescentJaune Whats the browser?

If both options are static, I guess it doesnt matter which one you use. I remember browsers killed the animated cursors years ago, so I had to use the CSS3 animated ones

@Shishio-kun I'm currently on Firefox. It used to work on Firefox and Brave before. But I only noticed recently that it no longer animates on Firefox. It still animates on Safari, though.

@IridescentJaune Firefox might have updated so you can't display animated cursors anymore? :/

However, I really feel there must be some kind of hack to push an animated cursor through (besides animating it as I had)

@Shishio-kun I've yet to update my Firefox because I still have opened tabs I'm working on. Haha. I'll update later in the day and see if that's still the case.

I was gonna try the method you did with keyframes but I didn't because I feel like my list will experience even more lags if I did.

@IridescentJaune It doesnt load much on your Dropped page at least. A keyframes cursor seems to lag most when its "jerked around" even on a blank layout. So the best thing to do is probably have it only animate on links when you're more likely to keep the cursor still.

Maybe the cursors would be working fine if contained to an import, but I would think I tried that before!
