About this plugin
Smooth Custom Cursor replaces the default browser cursor with a beautiful animated cursor effect. Fully customizable from the WordPress admin panel, with a live preview box for every style.
Choose from 9 cursor styles:
1. Dot + Ring — classic lagging ring with magnetic hover (the original style)
2. Glow Circle — small circle that grows into a larger circle with custom text on hover
3. Diamond — a tilting diamond shape that reacts to movement direction
4. Water Arrow — a hollow arrow that fills up like liquid and drains, on a loop
5. Bubble Trail — a normal-looking arrow that releases bubbles while moving
6. Character Trail — a normal-looking arrow that releases letters/characters while moving
7. Sparkle → Arrow — a spinning sparkle that tilts with movement and morphs into an arrow-in-circle on hover
8. Seed → Bloom — a seed that drifts with a trailing vine and blooms into a flower on hover, with an optional magnetic button pull
9. Image Cursor — upload any image from your Media Library to use as the cursor
