Create Custom Cursors in Webflow 

More Webflow videos on the way! Don't forget to give the video a like if you enjoyed it :D

For anyone watching this in 2024, you don't need to use the custom "Embedded Code" anymore. Webflow introduced a simpler way which will allow your buttons and links to be clickable. Select your Div cursor wrapper and on the right panel scroll down to the Effects options and down to 'Events', it shows two options, "Auto" and "None". Select 'None' and this will allow all your links to be clickable. I learned this on the Webflow University and on the "Pointer Events" section.

Value Packed Video! Thanks alot for taking the time to put this together !

Thank you Caler, this was exceptionally simple and easy to understand :)

Wow! Thank you so much. I thought this effect would be difficult but you made it so easy to follow!

Very Helpful. thanks

Y-axis tracking didn't work. The vh only takes a section of the entire screen, when I scroll the page, the cursor doesn't track the pointer anymore. Kindly help me out here

Thanks so much, worked! But had to delete the embed, because with the embed didnt work.

You have no idea how perfect the timing of me finding this is haha

Fantastic tutorial thank you!

This is gold bro TY

I followed along to the letter but the curser div only moves up and down and flickers to the left and right when the curser is moved in it's X position when previewed.. bizzar

Thank you! it's super helpful!

Man that's really outstading information

thank you so much Caler

very helpful thank you !

Thank you for the information! Great video! Keep up the good work!

Thank you so much ❤❤

thx it helped me a lot!

This was a great tutorial thanks so much!

Man! Asante sana!

Super duper helpful!!, 🎉🎉

Is there a way to create a different cursor and apply to all links? So we are not having to set the interaction to every link in the site?

Thanks for all ! I wondered how to put this cursor on every pages ? Please.

Awesome tutorial! Really easy to follow along 👍🔥

Just because I want to get this straight, if my nav bar had a dropdown on hover, this won't work with the mouse animation div added? Because even if I had that embed that you said to add the hover action doesn't work. I am either wrong or ignorant.

Amazing! thanks

Thanks so much

Muchas gracias amigo

Is there a way to hide/disable the function on mobile? Removing the animation just leaves the dot in the middle of screen.

How can you make the custom cursor disappear when the mouse leaves the viewport, say to click on a new tab, then reappear when the mouse re-enters the viewport... I'm sure it can done quite simply but it's giving me a headache! TIA for any assistance anyone...

There is a bug on Safari- the cursor looks as a box and not circle. Do you have a solution for it? 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

Where'd you get the liquid shape? 😮

Is there a way to achieve the click function without the custom code?

Nice tutorial! I'm having a trouble, when I try to select another element in my editor, it only selects the cursor-wrapper

bro - that's awesome - how can you add a trail to that cursor?

Thanks, it worked. How is the best way to apply to all pages in a project?

I am curious to know if it is possible to do a mask effect to change the colour of text within the cursor?

i dont have embed element?

clicking down the page ot working at all, hovering as well

Hlw sir I am From India and like your efforts

I did everything just as you said, but I am not able to scroll the page once I publish it. The code you showed was also added btw. Please help me out.

for some reason my cursor is glitching its position even tho I see that the right position percentages are being recorded in the mouse animation. anybody know a fix

Awesome tutorial and it worked! Thank you! But theres one problem here in my project, after i setup this cursor wrapper, i failed to edit all the elements underneath the layer(if this is making any sense), is there any solution to this?

Thank you! Great explanation. I made the custom cursor, but all the links do not work..There is some content in the page in position-absolut, but I made the cursor the max abs.value. Where is the problem?

It works great on all browsers except chrome. In chrome after couple of scrolls, the mouse cursor appears :/ Does someone has the same issue? Is there any solution to this?

THANKS

i want this to show in a certain section how would i do that

When you use this it also shows on the sideways screen on the ipads how do you make so that it doesnt show on these screens

Hey, awesome video, but I can't click on anything after using the custom cursor. Any idea? Also, it won't let me highlight text boxes so I can edit for hover effect. All help appreciated!

Hey, the custom cursor works but only on Safari...can u tell me why? thank u

Thank you! Could you explain why would this animation play out smoothly on preview but starters and clunky on publication? Maybe you've stepped into this issue yourself?

Great simple tutorial! I would love to keep my sticky nav in my design... but the custom cursor always seems to go behind it? any way the cursor is constantly seen?

Really simple to achieve - thankyou. But like others have said it doesn't work when mouse over embed links like youtube videos

Can we add image rather then creating a subject? BTW thank you for such clear and straight forward video

Any chance that someone reading this knows how to change the filter for cursor animations? I'm trying to invert the color on hover (this works) and undo invert on hover out (this isnt working)

Is the background animation a lottie file ?

Is that webgl? How that can be used in webflow?

Nice video as always, Caler. Hey, do you have a work around for the custom cursor on “Tablet Landscape”? I know you can turn off that effect for mobile landscape and mobile portrait (since there is no “hover”), but WF treats Tablet Landscape as if it’s the desktop, and I don’t know how to turn off the custom cursor specifically only for Tablet Landscape but keep it on for desktop. Any help would be awesome. Your tutorials are some of best out there. Nice work.

Are there any other ways to apply the effect of the embed code at 5:00, without writing any code?

Hey, what if my page size is longer than your example? what should I do?

I have a problem :) after setting my cursor in all body and all links to none there is still a default web cursor when i publish. does anyone have a solution to this? Thanks

Would it be possible to apply this method to all pages? (The entire website) Or must it be within a wrapper? Come to think, I could just copy and paste said wrapper into every section ?

shame you need the paid plan to embed html

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TTeWISVnkh8.html how you will arrived to select yout heading if you have configure cursor fixer with z-index = 100 ????

Amazing thanks so much!

Thank you so much

Thanks a lot! Really helpful
