Remove/replace Forbidden Mouse CursorShape by system default arrow

Question

Does anyone know how to get rid of the CURSOR_FORBIDDEN shape?
This drag & drop cursor change is so annoying.

I want to set the forbidden cursorshape to be the same as the arrow one.
But the set_custom_mouse_cursor only accepts a png image.
and I want to keep the user OS default cursors.

Control.get_cursor_shape only returns the enum index, so that doesn’t work.

Here it is working with custom cursors, but I want to keep the user default one.

func _ready() -> void:
	Input.set_custom_mouse_cursor(HAND_POINT,Input.CURSOR_ARROW)
	Input.set_custom_mouse_cursor(HAND_CLOSED,Input.CURSOR_FORBIDDEN)
	Input.set_custom_mouse_cursor(HAND_CLOSED,Input.CURSOR_CAN_DROP)

The other solution I’ve found is to just make all panels “accept” drops so the forbidden cursor is never set… But that is very hacky and annoying.

func _can_drop_data(at_position: Vector2, data: Variant) -> bool:
	return true

The cursor change is hard-coded in the engine godot/scene/main/viewport.cpp at 71a9948157dc2d5cc71fcb456c9d96656678757d · godotengine/godot · GitHub

I’m not sure if doing something like this will work:

func _process(delta):
    if dragging:
        DisplayServer.cursor_set_shape(DisplayServer.CURSOR_ARROW)

I think your only option is the one you already found.

Your solution worked quite well.
Didn’t know the DisplayServer had that function.
Thanks!

I’m using this which seems to work great to remove the Forbidden cursor.

func _process(_delta: float) -> void:
	if Input.get_current_cursor_shape() == CURSOR_FORBIDDEN:
		DisplayServer.cursor_set_shape(DisplayServer.CURSOR_ARROW)
