custom mouse cursor

Hello everyone!


Tell me how to make a custom mouse cursor in articulate storyline? To use absolutely any image instead of the standard cursor?

In the latest update and the advanced javascript API file there is a script "follow mouse and hide coursor", this is what I would like to see, but with this script not a single button is pressed.

I am sure that it is possible to somehow make a custom cursor using js, tell me, has anyone solved this problem? I will be very grateful))

    I mean a cursor for the whole course, replacing the standard mouse with a custom picture.

  • Hi Johny_learn89​!

    Happy to share some insight on this!

    Storyline 360 allows authors to customize the Cursor used in software simulations via Insert > Mouse.

    There, you can choose from a gallery of Cursor styles, as well as upload your own. Click Browse for Cursors at the bottom of the Cursors gallery, then select a file on your computer with a *.cur or *.ani extension. Also, free online converter tools, such as Convertio can help with converting images to a supported file format.

    I can't speak to configuring Cursors with the use of Javascript. However, we have a lot of code-minded users here in the community. I'll open the floor to them to share their insight and suggestions!
