Cursor Editor Options

Show Cursor

Cursor Style

Choose from three different cursor styles: Windows, Mac, or Touch.

Always Use Pointer Style (disabled by default)

Enable this to prevent the cursor from changing into other interactive elements such as hand pointers or text cursors.

Click Effect

Add a visual Ripple effect to highlight mouse clicks.

Cursor Movement Smoothing (enabled by default)

Smooths the cursor’s path for a more natural, less jarring movement.
