Hello.
It's been a while since I have been on this forum!
Anyways, I have been recently developing various pseudo-operating systems in Scratch, and would like to create custom cursors via having a sprite over the normal cursor. Small problem: the normal cursor is in the way. To fix this, I suggest a function to hide and show the cursor.

Some following blocks are:

hide cursor // hides the cursor

show cursor // shows the cursor

If you have anything to add to the suggestion, please post below.
If you support it, reply below with the reason why. (“i support this, full stop”) is not allowed as it violated Scratch's community guidelines.

how much of an area would it affect? the project area or the whole screen?

Just the project screen.

Just the project screen.

ok, this could be useful then. but maybe

<cursor on project screen?>

should be added into this.

<cursor on project screen?::sensing

There are already workarounds for that, just do

<<<(mouse x) > [-240]> and <(mouse x) < [240]>> and <<(mouse y) > [-180]> and <(mouse y) < [180]>>>

that's a lotta blocks.

Yeah, but there's a lot of blocks in Scratch already. So, Scratch Team probably won't add it if there's a workaround.

Or

This is the oldest topic I could find.

Thanks for the link! It does look like this is a duplicate topic so I'll close it to keep the conversation all in one place.
