Ring Cursor

Install

Or by hand, in a Next.js project with shadcn set up. It writes components/pastetaste/ring-cursor.tsx.

Install the pastetaste component "Ring Cursor" (ring-cursor) into this Next.js project and use it.

What it is: Custom cursor with an exact dot and a trailing ring that grows over links and prints their data-cursor label. Difference blending, fine pointers only.

Before you place it, ask me (one short message, in my language; "skip" = sensible default): which page and section it goes in, my brand colour (hex), the text, labels or images it should show, and whether I want my logo or my own copy in the demo content. Then:

Steps:
1. If the project has no components.json, run: npx shadcn@latest init -y -d. Then run: npx shadcn@latest add https://pastetaste.com/r/ring-cursor.json
   (it writes components/pastetaste/ring-cursor.tsx; install any npm packages it reports).
2. Import it: import { RingCursor } from "@/components/pastetaste/ring-cursor" (check the file for the exact named export).
3. Put it where it fits on the page I name, keep the rest of the page untouched, and pass props for my colours instead of editing the installed file.
4. It does not depend on Tailwind; colours come from CSS variables (--pt-*) or props.
5. It supports prefers-reduced-motion with a still state; do not remove it.

Props (all optional unless the type has no default):
- color: string = var(--pt-cursor, #ffffff) — Dot, ring and label colour; blended with difference.
- size: number = 10 — Dot diameter in px.
- ring: number = 36 — Ring diameter in px.
- grow: number = 2.4 — Ring scale over links, buttons and [data-cursor] elements.
- hideNative: boolean = false — Hide the native cursor while the custom one is active.
- className: string — Extra classes on the overlay.
- style: CSSProperties — Inline style overrides on the overlay.

Then run the dev server, check it in the browser at desktop and mobile width, and tell me the page URL.
