Change mouse to hand cursor when mouse hovered over hotspot
Dear All,
Currently, the mouse only change to hand cursor if I assign a click event to the hotspot. But, the mouse didn't change to hand cursor if I assign an hovered event to the hotspot.
So, Is there any way to change the mouse to hand cursor when we mouse hovered the hotspot?
Please advise.
Best Regards,
YL.
Hi Yoni,
I don't believe there is a way to include the hand cursor, assigned to this option. If you'd like to see the hand cursor, have you thought about adding a hotspot to the area that you'd like to be clicked? The hotspot is invisible, but would allow you to see the hand cursor where it is clickable.
Hi Dianne,
This thread is a bit older, and you mentioned placing a hotspot over the image - but were you not using hotspots to begin with? The hand cursor can typically be disabled based on using a hotpsot and right clicking to disable it - but if you were using something else to start with could you share a bit more information about your set up? Feel free to post a .story file here as well for us to take a look at.
I am using 6 images and one is correct. I have trigger when clicked to show a layer and another trigger that is when clicked off the image to show another layer. I didn't use hotspots because it interfered with the state changes on the images. I tried to right click to change hand to arrow like you do on a hotspot but it's only a function of the hotspot. It is an arrow for all the others but turns to a hand when hovered over the correct image. Is there a solution to change the hand to an arrow?
Thanks
Hi Dianne,
If you've made an element "clickable" in terms of a trigger or using a "pick one" question type for example, it'll have the hand cursor to let the users know that they'll be able to click on it. In regards to your other images, have you set triggers for them as well? Or it's just based on them not clicking the correct image?
There isn't an option to remove the hand cursor on images/shapes.
I would say yes a trigger has been set for them because I've used the Show Layer when the user clicks outside of logic. Copy on no option - I wish there was - it is pretty obvious to the user that it goes from arrow to hand so I'm going to select this one as the answer.
Hi Dianne,
If you're still having difficulty, are you able to share a sample .story file here with us so that we could take a look at what you've set up?
Just came across this thread when looking for a solution to the hand vs. arrow issue. We really do need the option to remove the hand cursor on hover over images and shapes, as we use hover over characters and shapes a lot in our modules.
Right now all we can do is place hotspots over everything, which adds a lot of extra work. I understand the UX logic described early in this post, but you do need to trust us designers to select hand or arrow as we need and not hardwire in the choice for us.
Hi Maidie - You are welcome to share your thoughts with our product development team here.
Hello Leslie,
I have created couple of buttons. However while hovering, I only see the arrow. I would like to change it to a hand with pointing fingers. How can I do it?
Also on an another note, sometimes a cross icon that I created do not work. I will send you a file with screenshots explaining the problems.
Thanks so much
Thank you,
So sorry, I think in the 'preview' mode, the cursor does not work. But does work in the publish mode. So this is not a problem.
However the problem is the 'cross' icon in each section (Prep,Cold, Oven etc). It seems such a simple button. I have no idea why this does not work.
Thanks,
IS
Somehow missed the story file. Thank you so much for your help and time.
Hi Indrani! Thanks for sharing your file with me. I tested in in Preview and after publishing, and the "X" buttons seemed to work correctly on all tabs.
Could you test this link and let me know if it's working correctly for you, too?
