[Read OP] "set cursor to" block - Featured as "not rejected" on TOLORS

W3sl3y2013

I like this idea, as computer programs that switch to different mouse pointers depending on what you are doing have an appeal to me that I don't know how to explain. However, I think that sprite costumes can also be used as cursors. Here is an example:

when green flag clicked
switch mouse cursor to costume: [costume1]

I support this idea either way!

Please read the original post. You clearly haven't. I see that you are new so let me clear up some terminology: OP means original post (i.e. the very first post in the whole thread.) TOLORS means The Official List of Rejected Suggestions, which is its own forum thread and contains the list of rejected suggestions by the Scratch Team. It's a sticky, so you should find it relatively quick.

Anyways, you should read TOLORS before suggesting anything to ensure that you aren't suggesting something that has already been rejected, and I can see that you have suggested that we should have custom mouse cursors based on sprite costumes, which is a rejected suggestion, and the Scratch team won't implement it.

Wait- what if someone uses a blank costume?

it's not costumes, it's just the system mouse cursors

Please read the original post, you seem to misunderstand what I'm saying. Also, please read TOLORS.

I'm just saying it's a possibility, I'm not dumb, It should keep the cursor in it's current costume if it's being told to revert to a blank costume

They said to read the OP. This isn't about switching the cursor to a costume, that's rejected, and therefore it isn't a possibility.

css allows “none” as a cursor

data:text/html,<html><body><div%20style="height:200;width:200;background-color:000000;cursor:none;line-height:200px;text-align:center;color:ff0;font-family:Sans-Serif;font-weight:bold;">hover%20me!</div></html>

maybe we could manage to get this added anyway

edit: opp, missed that in the op

Please read the op, because I said that “none” will specifically be hardcoded to not work

This goes under the mouse.

Rejected for the same reason that hiding/showing the cursor is rejected

What if there's a set time limit you can hide the cursor, say 5-8 seconds for cutscenes and junk.
Oh wait, you can just hide it over and over, nvm
