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.
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.
