hello,

this is so behind the times, I know, but I’m pretty new to digging into web construction.

you know that effect of a confetti of icons that swirl around your cursor on some sites? How is this done?

thanks!😏

It’s mostly javascript or dhtml I believe, here is a link to a bunch of mouse trailers and custom cursors. I’m sure one of those is what you’re asking about.

You know when people call him EG?

It stands for Excellent Guru! :love:

Oh yeah… and Javascript mouse follow effects are annoying :sleep:

Hmm, but now that I think of it… I have never written a script for that in Javascript… maybe I will give it a whirl :sure:
