The customized cursor is a little sluggish and the readraw can't quite keep up even with relative slowish mousemovements. Doesn't really seem viable to me yet :(
Maybe there is a more efficient way?

The scrollbar customization would be awesome, but it's webkit exclusive right now (correct me if I'm wrong, btw). Investing much time into designing a really nice custom scrollbar is imo not worth it, when only half your users (I don't know how the distribution of users, between webkit and others, is) get to see it in the end.

I wish the browsers would standardize more of there features more quickly.

To get the best performance out of custom cursor, we would have to use cursor url css property. In the above example I used a transition to create the lag.

oh, I see. Just tried it and that is a usefull thing to know. Was the example in the og post, just to show what else you could influence on cursors? If so, I misunderstood you :D
