How can I create custom cursors in Webflow using only native tools and interactions?

To create custom cursors using only native tools and interactions in Webflow, you can follow these steps:

Step 1: Prepare your custom cursor graphic
First, you'll need to create or find a custom cursor graphic that you want to use. It's recommended to use a graphic with a transparent background and small dimensions (e.g., 16x16 or 32x32 pixels).

Step 2: Upload the custom cursor graphic
In the Webflow Designer, open the Assets panel and click on the "Upload" button to upload your custom cursor graphic to your project. Make sure the cursor graphic is set to be publicly accessible.

Step 3: Add a class to the element
Select the element on which you want to apply the custom cursor. In the Selector field of the Style panel, add a class to the element by typing in a unique name (e.g., "custom-cursor").

Step 4: Add a custom code embed
Open the custom code embed settings for your site or page. You can find this in the Project Settings or Page Settings, depending on where you want to apply the custom cursor.

Step 5: Add CSS code for custom cursor
Inside the custom code embed, switch to the "Head" tab and add the following CSS code:

```css

```

Remember to replace "insert_image_url_here" with the public URL of your uploaded custom cursor graphic.

Step 6: Publish and test
Preview your site or page to see the custom cursor in action. The element with the "custom-cursor" class should now have the custom cursor applied to it.

Please note that custom cursors created with this method are applied to specific elements and override the default cursor behavior only on those elements. If you want the custom cursor to apply to the entire page/site, you can add the class to the body element.

Additionally, keep in mind that using a custom cursor may negatively impact accessibility and usability. It's crucial to ensure that the custom cursor doesn't hinder user experience or make it difficult for users to interact with your website.
