Is there a way to change cursor style?

Answer 1

Weird! how about using some parent like .cursor-normaliizer or something. like this:

<Scrollbars className="cursor-normalizer">
     <p>Some content</p>
</Scrollbars>

css:

.cursor-normalizer div:last-child > div{ // exact selector
      cursor: default !important
}

As per the doc (https://github.com/malte-wessel/react-custom-scrollbars/blob/master/docs/customization.md)

<Scrollbars
        renderTrackHorizontal={props => <div {...props} className="track-horizontal"/>}
        renderTrackVertical={props => <div {...props} className="track-vertical"/>}
        renderThumbHorizontal={props => <div {...props} className="thumb-horizontal"/>}
        renderThumbVertical={props => <div {...props} className="thumb-vertical"/>}
        renderView={props => <div {...props} className="view"/>}>
        <div>
            content here
        </div>
</Scrollbars>

Then apply the bellow css, to get the base working. And tweak as you like.

(in SCSS)

.track-vertical {
                        top: 2px;
                        bottom: 2px;
                        right: 2px;
                        border-radius: 3px;
                        background: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.111);

                        .thumb-vertical {
                            position: relative;
                            display: block;
                            width: 100%;
                            cursor: pointer;
                            border-radius: inherit;
                            background-color: rgba(123, 154, 255, 0.418); // changed the color
                        }

                    }

                    .track-horizontal {
                        position: absolute;
                        height: 6px;
                        right: 2px;
                        bottom: 2px;
                        left: 2px;
                        border-radius: 3px;

                        .thumb-horizontal {
                            position: relative;
                            display: block;
                            height: 100%;
                            cursor: pointer;
                            border-radius: inherit;
                            background-color: rgba(125, 149, 255, 0.993); // changed the color
                        }
                    }

                    .view {
                        position: absolute;
                        top: 0px;
                        left: 0px;
                        right: 0px;
                        bottom: 0px;
                        overflow: scroll;
                        margin-right: -15px;
                        margin-bottom: -17px !important; // changed from -15px  (default) to -17px (native scrollbar had a portion visible) 
                    }

This is the style that is applied by default when we don't manually render the elements. The passed props will handle updating the dimension of the thumb.

I don't know if that was intentional. So we can customize the way we want, and that we will not have to use !important in our css (it seem like that!).

For .view element. the style are passed, if you want to override (as i needed myself (margin: -17px, instead of -15px)) then just css rules. use !important. Or use inline css.

The above is SCSS. Here bellow the compiled css:

(in CSS)

.track-vertical {
  top: 2px;
  bottom: 2px;
  right: 2px;
  border-radius: 3px;
  background: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.111);
}
.track-vertical .thumb-vertical {
  position: relative;
  display: block;
  width: 100%;
  cursor: pointer;
  border-radius: inherit;
  background-color: rgba(123, 154, 255, 0.418);
}

.track-horizontal {
  position: absolute;
  height: 6px;
  right: 2px;
  bottom: 2px;
  left: 2px;
  border-radius: 3px;
}
.track-horizontal .thumb-horizontal {
  position: relative;
  display: block;
  height: 100%;
  cursor: pointer;
  border-radius: inherit;
  background-color: rgba(125, 149, 255, 0.993);
}

.view {
  position: absolute;
  top: 0px;
  left: 0px;
  right: 0px;
  bottom: 0px;
  overflow: scroll;
  margin-right: -15px;
  margin-bottom: -17px !important;
}

Hi simply use CSS to do it, and load an image base64 or file.jpg png gif ... etc.

Doesn't work at all after tested :

.cursor1 {
  cursor: url(data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAASUhEUgAAACAAAAAgCAYAAABzenr0AAAJFklEQVR42rWXCXBU9R3Hv+/V...), auto;
}

If you want the standard cursors still running tested:

.cursors {
  text-align:center;
}
.cursors-main {
  display:inline-block;
  font-size:12px;
  font-family:Gotham, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
  background:green;
  color:#FFF;
  padding:10px 25px;
  margin-bottom:5px;
}
.cursors-main:hover {
  background:#555;
}
.auto            { cursor: auto; }
.deafult         { cursor: default; }
.none            { cursor: none; }
.context-menu    { cursor: context-menu; }
.help            { cursor: help; }
.pointer         { cursor: pointer; }
.progress        { cursor: progress; }
.wait            { cursor: wait; }
.cell            { cursor: cell; }
.crosshair       { cursor: crosshair; }
.text            { cursor: text; }
.vertical-text   { cursor: vertical-text; }
.alias           { cursor: alias; }
.copy            { cursor: copy; }
.move            { cursor: move; }
.no-drop         { cursor: no-drop; }
.not-allowed     { cursor: not-allowed; }
.all-scroll      { cursor: all-scroll; }
.col-resize      { cursor: col-resize; }
.row-resize      { cursor: row-resize; }
.n-resize        { cursor: n-resize; }
.e-resize        { cursor: e-resize; }
.s-resize        { cursor: s-resize; }
.w-resize        { cursor: w-resize; }
.ns-resize       { cursor: ns-resize; }
.ew-resize       { cursor: ew-resize; }
.ne-resize       { cursor: ne-resize; }
.nw-resize       { cursor: nw-resize; }
.se-resize       { cursor: se-resize; }
.sw-resize       { cursor: sw-resize; }
.nesw-resize     { cursor: nesw-resize; }
.nwse-resize     { cursor: nwse-resize; }
