Show HN: 'Hack' the user cursor
Interesting trick. I was recently looking through Safari CSS Reference and thought using an image to replace the cursor wasn't allowed: "Although the CSS specification allows it, Safari does not support custom cursors." [0]<p>What are examples of legitimate use-cases for supporting custom cursors? If you're considering using a custom cursors, keep in mind that not all users keep the normal cursor size. At least on macOS, you can increase the size from the Accessibility panel.<p>Hopefully the web can start providing access to more built-in accessibility features. One such feature that was added recently is Reduced Motion Media Query [1]. Wouldn't it be great to have a media query for "Increase contrast"? I can't be the only one that's occasionally frustrated from websites that mix 50 shades of barely readable gray.<p>[0] <a href="https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/AppleApplications/Reference/SafariCSSRef/Articles/StandardCSSProperties.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP30001266-cursor" rel="nofollow">https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/Ap...</a><p>[1] <a href="https://developer.apple.com/library/content/releasenotes/General/WhatsNewInSafari/Articles/Safari_10_1.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40014305-CH12-DontLinkElementID_61" rel="nofollow">https://developer.apple.com/library/content/releasenotes/Gen...</a>
