Icon is a property that determines the image used as the pointer. If blank, a default arrow is used. While the cursor hovers over a GuiButton, this property is temporarily ignored.

To hide the cursor entirely, do not use a transparent image – instead, set UserInputService/MouseIconEnabled to false. For more information on how to change the mouse’s icon, please see Articles/Mouse Icon Appearance|this tutorial.

Designing a Cursor

The following guidelines may prove useful when creating your own mouse cursors:

• The dimensions of the image used determines the size of the cursor.
• The center of the image is where mouse inputs are issued.
• The default mouse image is 64x64 pixels, with the mouse taking up 17x24 pixels of space.

System Cursors for PluginMouse

When using a PluginMouse retrieved from Plugin/GetMouse, you can use the following icons similar to your system’s default cursors, such as hands, arrows, I-beams, etc. You can use these with GUI events like GuiObject/MouseEnter|MouseEnter, GuiObject/MouseLeave|MouseLeave, and GuiButton/MouseButton1Down|MouseButton1Down to provide a consistent studio experience when interacting with certain kinds of GUI components. Note that these only work for studio plugins; they will not work for other Mouse objects.
