Happy new year yo!

Absolutely no problem with changing the cursor in global mode but unfortunately I can’t get it to in instance mode - or even any kind of error in the console. The sketch canvas is part of a site and I just want to make sure the user realises it’s clickable with a link-style cursor.

I thought it would be say cursor(CROSS) or sketch.cursor(CROSS) within draw() but no luck!

As always grateful for any support or direction here.

Thank you! I was using P5 settings not CSS.
