This can't work on 4.2.1 since the Main CSS page isn't used in 4.x (nor can you even save it since you would get an error).

Actually this is not a mod, it should be in the article or template modification section.

The OP actually said this though, "in the end of the additional css add:" so he is somewhat right, the instructions are just not to clear.

Sorry the code insert in the end of your additional.css for your template and insert this mod please in template modification section :)

i really like it.

here are also 4+1 cursors in case that someone is looking for thin cursor styles.

works best with an actual cursor.. Try this one and see how it works for you. If you want blue instead of orange, change arrow-or to arrow-bl..
body,td,div,p {
cursor: url(http://www.lower48.com/support/images/cursors/arrow-or.cur), default;;
}

Works great on 4.2.2

Now we only need to figure out how to add mouseover cursor hand thingy to display the same way.

Now we only need to figure out how to add mouseover cursor hand thingy to display the same way.

if you use an actual cursor it will use the systems default hand when moused over a link.

If you wanted to get all crazy with it you can code in an entire cursor pack but it would be a bit of an over kill.

using a png or gif for this and the mouse-over usually will not work, so use an actuall cursor for it if you can..
