cursor-textText cursor
Say what the click does, where the eye already is.
Replace the pointer with a word. Font size, colours, padding, radius and border are all free — this is the whole styling panel, not a teaser.
Where it earns its keep: Portfolio thumbnails, case-study tiles, anywhere “view” beats an icon.

A cursor is the only part of your interface a visitor moves themselves. It follows their attention exactly, which makes it the cheapest place to say something — a word, a shape, a reaction — without adding an element to the page.
Your own pointer — move it anywhere on the page, not just in this card.

15 settings in the free plugin
The effect itself is free and runs with these settings. Nothing in the free dashboard is locked or greyed out.
Every setting
