Attack of the cursor

A cursor is a visual cue of where 'you' are positioned on a screen. Without it, a user would be rendered lost and probably frustrated. With it, permits autonomous navigation.

More often than not, no attention will be paid to the cursor; as they typically inherit the default settings to all look and behave the same. The cursor's aim is to avoid inhibiting navigation or causing distraction; but sometimes custom cursor interactions can add a layer of interest to a site.
