Custom Cursors

I want to change my cursors, where can I get different cursors from?

There are plenty of places to get them from on the WWW.

We have a few on this page you can use or a good place to start looking would be here.

I have downloaded the cursors I want to use.
Now what do I do?

Custom cursors can be just for your pleasure on your own browser or can be what your visitors will see when they visit your web pages.
( instructions here )

Microsoft Internet Explorer 4+ and Netscape 6+ supports customized cursors defined with CSS.

Although the cursors will not have the customized look in other browsers it usually doesn't ruin anything. These browsers will simply show the normal arrow-cursor which would be same case as if you refrained from customizing cursors at all.

However there might be other reasons for thinking twice before adding custom cursor to your pages. Many users are easily confused or irritated when a site breaks the standard user interface.
