There are three places on SquareKicker where you can change the cursor of your mouse. The first is in your site or your section, as well as your block. To access your site mouse cursors, click on the top SK menu and click on site. In your advanced tools, you'll see mouse cursors. Here you can change the primary cursor of your mouse or the link cursor inside your mouse cursor options.
You have an emoji, a shape, or text options to change your mouse cursor. When you click on emoji, you have the ability to search an entire list of emojis.
You can then also change the size of emoji or rotate it. Change the click point of where you would like your click to be on your mouse. You can also adjust the links of your cursor, so anywhere you click on your site that has a link will show your active mouse cursor. For this option, I'm gonna choose shape.
Shape comes in four varieties, a circle, a square, a triangle, or you can customize your own shape.
Another option to find mouse cursors are in your section settings. Click on your section tools and head to advanced. These cursor settings will take priority over your site settings.
Next we are gonna wanna change the mouse cursor on a specific block. So I click on my SquareKicker tools and head to my mouse cursors and then head to primary. I'm gonna wanna select text this time, and in my text option I'm gonna type in square kicker. You can, of course, adjust the font family, the click point.
As well as the size of the font and even the color. And now you can see I've applied a mouse cursor for when I hover on this text block. Next, I'm gonna want to actually change the link on this text block, so I head to my link cursor options. And this time I'm gonna use shape. I've selected the square here for my custom mouse cursor and then given it the same color.
I'm pretty happy with that. So I'm gonna apply and then go check out my cursors as I hit save
