💡 How It Works :
Add the component in absolute positioning above your individual CMS items in a CMS collection list.
Bind the image URL property to your CMS image field.
When users hover over each item, the corresponding CMS image appears at their cursor position and follows their movement.
The component automatically handles different images for each CMS entry.
🧠 Keep two setups in mind :
- The component's Z-index must be higher than the item's one.
- If you have animations and effects on items, set the component's Pointer Event to "None", and the Item's Pointer Event to "Auto".
🎨 Customization Options:
Adjust fade in/out animation speeds
Enable or disable the echo trail effect
Control trail length and intensity
Set custom image dimensions
Toggle cursor visibility
Maintain or override aspect ratios
📊 CMS Workflow Benefits:
