    Is there a way to change the "image" a cursor has when hovering a unity element on a browser without having access to the source code?



    (Forgive the size of the image, I can't make the height and width attributes work xD)

    Let's say my awesomely drawn number 1 is the unity object, number 2 is the rest of the website and the dot is my pointer. Using JavaScript, I can change the looks of my cursor over 2, but as of yet, I can't make it work when hovering 1. Is it possible to so it? If so, how can I?

    P.s.: on a side note, how can I change my username? The autocorrect screwed me up xD

    Well, if the inner box is a Unity web application, and the outer box is a web page, then I think you are asking how you can change the cursor when it leaves the Unity app. I imagine CSS or jQuery will be needed to detect where the cursor is and make changes.

    PM me about your username.

    This is the case. The part in blue is the unity web application and the rest is a web page as you said


    Now I can easily change my cursor's looks on the outer box with something like

    javascript:$('embed').css('cursor','url(http://www.someurl.com/image.gif),auto');

    However, this doesn't seem to work, no matter what tag I use (also tried manually adding an id to the object to try to select it and change the cursor's image) But it still looks as "it should" in the game

    Is it possible to change it or am I trying too hard? xD
