Clickable Buttons/Labels No Longer Use the Pointer Cursor onhover

Apollo · started 2019-02-28 23:57 · updated 2025-07-19 18:20

The pointer cursor indicator used in styling to indicate whether or not an element is clickable no longer appears in the new update. I've dug around in the code a bit to see which elements are specifically affected. Appended, is a list of examples where this is the case (this can be fixed by adding the appropriate styling per element). However, bear in mind that aside from a few exceptions only <button> and certain <label> elements need apply.

Examples

  • Parent: .start-dialog; Children: .button, label.entry
  • Parent: .projects-dialog; Children: .track-list .track, .status-selector .radio.tiny, button
  • Parent: .demos-dialog; Children: .button, button
  • Parent: header; Children: .user-avatar, button
  • Parent: header .controls; Children: .position span, article section label
  • Parent: header aside; Children: .undo-redo button :not(.disabled), button
  • Parent: footer; Children: section.center .document span
  • Parent: .docked.menu .container; Children: .selectable

But Audiotool is a Desktop App...
Unless you all are starting to future proof it right now :thinkthink:

But, that in mind, consider that desktop/laptop PCs will be the way to do computing for the foreseeable future. Professional/creative industry leaders like Apple will likely not invest into launching touch products... ever. The MacBook will likely never have a touch screen nor any of Apple's laptops. I'd understand the iPad (especially with the recent refresh of the Pro line) but I've used Audiotool on mobile before and it currently requires a mouse/keyboard. I mean maybe the Apple pencil would work as a mouse... but... eh

What software do you use?

Do you have any specific examples? I wanted to look into them myself

WHOA, I don't understand how I never noticed that before.
But it seems like, in contrast, web apps tend to stick with this standard...
(Though this may be slightly biased because I use a lot of Google apps)
Every tab I have opened uses the pointer cursor:
Gmail, GCalendar, GContacts, Android Messages, Audiotool, Messenger, GDocs, Wikipedia...
