Custom Cursor

The Custom Cursor replaces the mouse pointer with a dot, a ring, or both. The cursor follows the mouse and grows over links and buttons.

Touch screens have no cursor, so phones and tablets never show it.

How to Turn On the Custom Cursor

  1. In your WordPress dashboard, go to ShapeBlock > Extensions.
  2. Find the Custom Cursor card and turn its switch on. The change is saved right away.
  3. Click the gear button on the card to open its settings.
  4. Change the settings and click Save Changes.

Custom Cursor Settings

  • Style: Choose Dot and Ring, Dot, or Ring.
  • Color: Set the cursor color. Pick a color that stands out on both your light and dark sections.
  • Ring Size: Set the size of the ring in pixels.

Show On

Every site-wide extension has a Show On option at the end of its settings window.

  • All pages: The extension runs on every page of the site. This is the default.
  • Selected pages: A second field appears. Pick one or more pages from the list (type to search). The extension then runs only on those pages, and nowhere else. Use it to try a feature on a few pages first, or to keep it to the pages that need it.

Note: Selected pages works with pages only. Posts, archives, and search results are not in the list, so a feature limited to selected pages does not run on them.
