Changing cursor color in Dreamweaver
- Thread starter thebach
- Start date
Hi again,
Not aware of a way to do this. You can change the cursor shape eg to a hand or pointing a different way, see this tutorial:
Beware that these are interperated differently depending on the operating system, settings etc.
Sorry I cant be of more help,

ya I found a site where your cursor changes to red when your there, thought it was cool and was wondering how to do it. Here's the link
If you view the source it is done with JavaScript (I think):
<script language="javascript"><!--
function move()
{
chk = document.body.clientWidth + 2;
if(window.event.x > chk) //Ist Mauszeiger über Scrollbar?
{
var sfc = "black"; //scrollbar-face-color
var ssc = "white"; //scrollbar-shadow-color
var shc = "black"; //scrollbar-highlight-color
var stc = "black"; //scrollbar-track-color
var sac = "white"; //scrollbar-arrow-color
document.body.style.scrollbarFaceColor = sfc;
document.body.style.scrollbarShadowColor = ssc;
document.body.style.scrollbarTrackColor = stc;
document.body.style.scrollbarHighlightColor = shc;
document.body.style.scrollbarArrowColor = sac;
}
else //wenn Mauszeiger nicht über Scrollbar
{
var sfc = "black"; //scrollbar-face-color
var ssc = "white"; //scrollbar-shadow-color
var shc = "white"; //scrollbar-highlight-color
var stc = "black"; //scrollbar-track-color
var sac = "white"; //scrollbar-arrow-color
document.body.style.scrollbarFaceColor = sfc;
document.body.style.scrollbarShadowColor = ssc;
document.body.style.scrollbarTrackColor = stc;
document.body.style.scrollbarHighlightColor = shc;
document.body.style.scrollbarArrowColor = sac;
}
} // -->
</script>

{
chk = document.body.clientWidth + 2;
if(window.event.x > chk) //Ist Mauszeiger über Scrollbar?
{
var sfc = "black"; //scrollbar-face-color
var ssc = "white"; //scrollbar-shadow-color
var shc = "black"; //scrollbar-highlight-color

var sac = "white"; //scrollbar-arrow-color
document.body.style.scrollbarFaceColor = sfc;
document.body.style.scrollbarShadowColor = ssc;
document.body.style.scrollbarTrackColor = stc;
document.body.style.scrollbarHighlightColor = shc;
document.body.style.scrollbarArrowColor = sac;
}
else //wenn Mauszeiger nicht über Scrollbar
{
var sfc = "black"; //scrollbar-face-color
var ssc = "white"; //scrollbar-shadow-color
var shc = "white"; //scrollbar-highlight-color
var stc = "black"; //scrollbar-track-color
var sac = "white"; //scrollbar-arrow-color
document.body.style.scrollbarFaceColor = sfc;
document.body.style.scrollbarShadowColor = ssc;
document.body.style.scrollbarTrackColor = stc;
document.body.style.scrollbarHighlightColor = shc;
document.body.style.scrollbarArrowColor = sac;
}
} // -->

Another site that would have scripts for thos effects is When in doubt, deny all terms and defnitions.

OK, I got it to work, but I notice that anywhere on my page I have Flash it goes back to white, I also notice I can't get animated gifs to work on my page where there is Flash, I've tried layers and everything else I can think of. Why is this?
This is achieved by the following
<style>
BODY{
cursor:url("
</style>
where arroe.cur is the .cur file having the colored cursor
Please note : this doesnot work in Netscape (any version) or Opera (any version). It also doesnot work in IE versions lower than 5.5

That because the control goes out of html and into flash. You will have to import the same cursor image into flash and use it with the mouse drag(xmouse and ymouse properties i guess, i am not a flash expert) functions within flash. However even if you do that lets say you have a drop down menu (using form select) in your html document. The cursor when goes to select a option in that drop down menu will go white again.
