## Description

Cursor Image Lite is a lightweight and beginner-friendly plugin that allows you 
to replace the default mouse cursor on your WordPress site with a custom PNG cursor
image. It works with any theme and requires no coding knowledge.

This plugin is ideal for websites that want a unique visual experience, such as 
portfolios, creative blogs, design studios, landing pages, gaming sites, and personal
projects.

**You can customize:**
 – A primary PNG cursor image – An optional hover-state PNG
image (shown on links, buttons, etc.) – Custom cursor sizes using pixel-based controls
for each image

Cursor Image Lite provides a simple way to personalize the look and feel of your
website by using custom mouse pointers.

### Features

 * Set a custom mouse cursor image (PNG)
 * Optional hover-state cursor image
 * Compatible with all major browsers
 * Works with any WordPress theme
 * Lightweight — minimal performance impact
 * No coding required
 * Automatic fallback to the native cursor
 * Clean and simple settings page

## Screenshots

 * [[
 * Settings screen with upload fields for the primary and hover PNG cursor images.

 * Settings screen after selecting both cursor images, showing how the custom PNG
   files appear when configured.

 * Front-end preview demonstrating the custom cursor in action on a live website.

## Installation

 1. Upload the plugin files to `/wp-content/plugins/cursor-image-lite` or install directly
    through the WordPress Plugins page.
 2. Activate the plugin through the “Plugins” menu in WordPress.
 3. Go to **Settings  Cursor Image Lite**.
 4. Upload your PNG cursor image and optional hover image.
 5. Save your settings.
 6. Your custom cursor will be applied immediately.

## FAQ

### What image formats are supported?

The plugin currently supports only PNG images. Transparent PNGs are recommended 
for best results.

### Does the plugin work on mobile devices?

Most mobile browsers do not display custom cursors. In these cases, the system’s
default cursor or touch behavior will be used.

### What happens if I remove all images?

The browser will automatically revert to the default cursor.
 This issue was improved
in version 1.0.1.

### Does it work with page builders?

Yes. The plugin works with all major page builders because it applies cursor styles
globally.

 [PRNEWS](https://profiles.wordpress.org/prnewsagency/) दिसम्बर 6, 2025

We’ve been using Cursor Image Lite on a few of our project landing pages, mainly
to give them a small visual touch without relying on heavier plugins. So far, the
experience has been great.The plugin is very straightforward — upload the cursor
images, set the sizes, and it’s done. Both the main cursor and the hover cursor 
work reliably across our pages, and we haven’t run into any conflicts or slowdowns.
As an agency that builds a lot of creative pages, we appreciate tools that stay 
out of the way and just do their job. This one does exactly that.
