How to Create a Star Trail Cursor in Webflow

In this tutorial, Sandro, cofounder of Gemeos Webflow agency, shows you how to create a cursor with a trail of colorful stars in Webflow.

Example

Move your mouse inside the area

✨ Move your mouse here
ParameterDefault valueDescription
COUNT12Number of stars in the trail
SIZE10Star size in pixels
COLORSPurple, pink, blue...Star colors

The script

Paste this script into the Footer code field of your CMS article. It runs automatically on the page.

(function() {
var COUNT = 12, SIZE = 10;
var COLORS = ['#a78bfa','#f472b6','#60a5fa','#34d399','#fbbf24'];
var stars = [];
for (var i = 0; i < COUNT; i++) {
var s = document.createElement('div');
s.style.cssText = 'position:fixed;pointer-events:none;border-radius:50%;z-index:9999;transition:opacity 0.3s;';
document.body.appendChild(s);
stars.push({ el: s, x: 0, y: 0 });
}
document.addEventListener('mousemove', function(e) {
var s = stars[Math.floor(Math.random() * COUNT)];
var color = COLORS[Math.floor(Math.random() * COLORS.length)];
var size = SIZE * (0.5 + Math.random() * 0.5);
s.el.style.cssText += 'width:'+size+'px;height:'+size+'px;background:'+color+';left:'+e.clientX+'px;top:'+e.clientY+'px;opacity:1;';
setTimeout(function() { s.el.style.opacity = '0'; }, 100);
});
})();

good to know

For an even more fun version, swap the round divs for star emojis ⭐ or custom SVGs. Change s.el.innerHTML = '⭐' and remove border-radius:50% from the cssText.

Conclusion

A subtle but eye-catching easter egg. Perfect for creative sites and portfolios. See also: create a custom cursor in Webflow.
