Richmond had drunk 4 glasses of strong red wine and his mind was wandering. However, the 'problem' about using a substack as an answer palette is that it can get obscured by other substacks unless one is very careful. In my Devawriter I use images in the main stack and set the visible when they are ...

Richmond, your latest stack changes and locks the cursor upon mouseEnter into a field. But the cursor reverts once one leaves the rect of the field. What were you trying to show here? Well: 1.

Your "paw" changes as soon as the cursor leaves that image. Well, over here, with LC 9.6.3 the 'paw' remains a paw across the card and those 'random' objects I sprinkled across the card. Unfortunately the screen shot thingy in MacOS, even when 'show the pointer' is selected, does NOT show any curso...

Dunno: this works:

Clicking on the 'Paw', and away you go.

Custom cursor images must contain three colors: black, white, and a transparent color.

I wonder why?
