Effects
CursorEffects
Themed cursors, and an effect around the pointer.
import { CursorEffects } from "gui-mellow/CursorEffects";Try it
This site renders <CursorEffects /> once, in its layout. Move around, hover the buttons and click; then switch palettes.
By palette
Each palette picks its effect with the --gm-cursor-effect token.
| Palette | Cursor | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Cloud | The system's | A ripple from each click |
| Solarpunk | The system's | Pollen by day, fireflies by night; leaves fall when you click |
| Magazine | A chunky comic arrow; red over links | Comic starbursts: POW! BAM! ZAP! |
| Cyberpunk | A targeting reticle, locking on over links | Trailing brackets with a coordinate readout, locking on to buttons |
| Kawaii | A magic wand; a heart over links | Twinkling sparkles, and sparkles and hearts on click |
| Ranger | A HUD arrow; a lightning bolt over links | Thruster exhaust, and twin laser beams that strike with sparks and lightning |
