mouse helper

Mouse Helper addon displays dynamic suggestions when the mouse hovers over various page objects.

Once the addon is active in the Theme Panel -> Theme Dashboard -> Addons, the “Mouse helper” section should appear in the Theme Panel > ThemeREX Addons > Mouse helper tab in WordPress dashboard menu panel. Here you can set the behavior of the mouse helper globally.

  • System cursor – This options allows you to replace system cursor with a custom image or hide it.
    • Default cursor image – Select or upload image to use it as default cursor.
    • Cursor image over links – Select or upload image to use it as cursor over links and buttons.
  • Show mouse helper – Display animated helper near the mouse cursor on desktop and notebooks.
    • Always visible – Display the mouse helper permanently or only when hovering over the corresponding object.
    • Centered – Place the center of the helper in the cursor position.
    • Delay – Specify the coefficient of lag between the helper and the cursor (1 – the helper moves with the cursor).

PLEASE NOTE! By default, the mouse helper inherits the theme colors. You can also override these color settings by the individual ones for a particular page section/object.

In case you want the mouse helper to display some special information for a definite page section or just change the cursor style over a specific section/element, you can proceed to the Elementor widgets panel, enable the mouse helper for a particular section/column/widget and specify additional settings (text, background image, icon, etc.) in the Advanced > Mouse Helper section.

Moreover, the Mouse Helper Addon enhances some Elementor widgets (Title, Promo, etc.) with “Highlight on mouse hover” function, allowing you to make your titles unique.

By default, an “image on hover” effect is implemented into the following Elementor widgets. The image on hover is a featured image of a particular post.

  • Portfolio widget (ThemeREX Addons Extensions group) in “Simple” style (like on our demo in “Creative Works” section);
  • Blogger widget (ThemeREX Addons Elements group) in Layout “List”, Template “Simple (hover)” (like on our demo in “Recent Blog Posts” section);
