Description
CursorCraft – Cursor Builder for Elementor is a powerful, lightweight addon that lets you turn any Elementor Container into a fully functioning custom mouse cursor. Instead of being limited to basic shapes, you can use Elementor’s native drag-and-drop builder to design your cursor exactly how you want it!
Features include:
* Container as Cursor: Use Elementor Containers to design anything from simple dots to complex animated widgets, and set them to follow the mouse.
* Target Specific Elements: Enable your custom cursor globally across the entire page, or only when hovering over specific sections or CSS classes.
* Advanced Physics: Choose between instant tracking or smooth, spring-like physics with a customizable speed slider.
* Interactive Scaling: Automatically scale the cursor up or down when the user hovers over clickable elements (links, buttons, inputs).
* Blend Modes: Apply CSS mix-blend-modes (like Difference or Exclusion) so your cursor dynamically reacts to the background colors behind it.
* Fully Responsive: Easily hide the custom cursor on tablets and mobile devices to save performance and battery life.

Does this slow down my website?

How do I hide it on mobile?
