Cursor & Pointer

Magnetic Dot

Glowing pink dot springs to the pointer; a laggy outer ring squashes along its travel, joined by a fading tendril. Self-demos via Lissajous path when idle.

When to use it

Custom cursor replacements, interactive portfolio heroes, or any dark-background canvas needing a tactile pointer feel.

When not to

Light backgrounds (hardcoded dark body), or UIs where hiding the native cursor would confuse users.

Working with an AI agent

Every component ships agent-ready metadata. An example instruction for this one:

Change the accent color from '#ff5ca8' to '#00eaff', increase dot spring stiffness from 0.22 to 0.35, and slow ring lag from 0.10 to 0.06. Theme: dark tokens live in :root, the light variant in :root[data-theme="light"]; ?theme=light or a {type:'forever:theme'} postMessage switches at runtime.

Safe to edit

  • accent color (ACC = '#ff5ca8')
  • dot spring stiffness (0.22)
  • ring spring lag (0.10)
  • ring base radius (W*0.085+10)
  • self-demo Lissajous path amplitudes (ax, ay)
  • theme tokens (:root dark defaults + [data-theme=light] overrides)

Keep intact

  • DPR-aware canvas sizing
  • visibilitychange pause/resume
  • prefers-reduced-motion static fallback
  • IIFE wrapper
  • theme hook (?theme= bootstrap + forever:theme message listener + theme tokens)

Known limitations

  • Light re-theme via the [data-theme=light] token block; catalog bg/accent describe the dark default
  • cursor:none hides native cursor globally on the canvas element
