Hi, I have a little project and i am trying to change the normal cursor with an image and it works for a little while, however after 1 minute it stops working (the cursor just changes back to the arrow and won’t change anymore).  
Here is the code:

```auto
void mus(){
  if(mouseX<=grid[1][1].moveMINX && mouseY<=grid[1][1].moveMINY){ // upper left
    
    cursor(venstreop,0,0);
    
  }else if(mouseX<=grid[1][1].moveMINX && mouseY>grid[1][1].moveMINY && mouseY<grid[1][1].moveMAXY){ // left
    cursor(venstre,0,venstre.height/2);
    
    
  }else if(mouseX<=grid[1][1].moveMINX && grid[1][1].moveMAXY<=mouseY){ // lower left
    cursor(venstrened,0,venstrened.height);

    
  }else if(grid[1][1].moveMINX<mouseX && grid[1][1].moveMAXY<=mouseY && mouseX<grid[1][1].moveMAXX){// down
    cursor(ned,ned.width/2,ned.height-2);
    
  }else if (grid[1][1].moveMAXX<=mouseX && grid[1][1].moveMAXY<=mouseY){ // lower right
    cursor(hojrened,hojrened.width,hojrened.height);
    
  }else if (grid[1][1].moveMAXX<=mouseX && grid[1][1].moveMINY<mouseY && mouseY<grid[1][1].moveMAXY){ // right
    cursor(hojre,hojre.width,hojre.height/2);
    
  }else if (grid[1][1].moveMAXX<=mouseX && mouseY<=grid[1][1].moveMINY){ // upper right
    cursor(hojreop,hojreop.width,0);

    
  }else if (grid[1][1].moveMINX<mouseX && mouseX<grid[1][1].moveMAXX && mouseY<=grid[1][1].moveMINY){ //up 
    cursor(op,(op.width)/2, 0); 
  }else { //midten 
    cursor(CROSS);
  }
}

```

if it doesn’t work just create it in a simple way. Use `noCursor();`  
After it just use `image(PImage,mouseX,mouseY);`

Thank you for the help. This was the way I ended up doing it 😉
