it shows a dropdown with a different take on the hover effect. When hovering on each item, the icon of each social network appears, replacing the system cursor.

The code and demo https://codepen.io/flavio_amaral/...

I'm sure it isn't going to help user if social network's icon would take place of their pointer cursor. *confuss noises*

@vintprox I agree take the consideration this is an experiment/concept and not a pratical real use case.

Interesting idea, not a good use case. Cursors are expected to represent the type of action you can take (share, navigate, resize, submit/activate, select, nothing, forbidden), not the object (Facebook, index, login) because the object is indicated by the position of the cursor. It's a good question what else can be meaningfully represented with a cursor, but definitely not the object.

Another thing to add to the cursor is it gets knocked out of the correct position if the user scrolls the page.
