    Does it work with all themes?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    Yes. The plugin injects the cursor elements via wp_footer and loads styles\/scripts on all frontend pages.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    Can I disable it on mobile?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    Yes. In Settings > Cursor Ultimate, check the \"Disable on Mobile\" option.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    Why does my default cursor still show?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    Make sure no other plugin or theme CSS is overriding cursor: none. The plugin sets cursor: none !important on all elements.<\/p><\/dd>\n
