I have transparent buttons that have a pointer as the cursor for On Mouse Down, but the pointer doesn't show, even though the mouse down works. It's a problem because I'm using Hype to build the menu system for my website fineday.com. In a previous post I mentioned the other problem, which is that the hype menu puts a big separation between itself and anything below it on the page, when resizing the browser window.
In general, there shouldn't be a problem changing the cursor on a transparent button. Some questions:
- What browser/OS and associated versions are you using?
- How are you making it transparent? (opacity change, no background color, etc?)
- Do you have a zip of the .hype document and instructions on which elements are a problem so we can see? (I couldn't find where this might be on your website)
Answers to your questions:
-
I'm using Chrome version 120.0.6099.129 on a Mac OS 14.4.1.
-
I'm making the buttons transparent with fill style none.

On every page of my website fineday.com you should see my hype built menu at the top, which includes buttons that don't show the pointer when clicked. (If you didn't see the menus, it may be that my implementation of them hadn't propagated to wherever you are when you looked at the website.)
After I posted this response, I checked the link in it to my website and was surprised to see that the pointer is now showing up! So instead of help with that, maybe you can help with the problem of the giant separation between my hype menus and whatever is below on the page which gets worse when sizing down the browser window.
