Does not support Elementor version 3.25.4

By keskes on November 9, 2024

The plugin does not support the latest version of Elementor 3.25.4. Almost all browsers have started experiencing issues with page scrolling. It's as if the page won't scroll, or scrolling happens with significant delays and jerks. Using your plugin has become nearly impossible. We had to roll back Elementor to an older version.

Completely Junk

Not sure why WordPress approved this plugin.

Junk

By Duke Snoogens (MikeLoucas) on October 17, 2021

Junk, Glitchy, Blinky, Shuddery-Studdery and the scrollbars were under my content. (z-index: -1) LMAO! WTF? You can make your own custom scroll bars with CSS, just Google it.

Nice Job!

The Cursor is what is needed for a Pretty Website Layout! Only check it better on Firefox, because it has shown a randomly Blinky behavior after page loading... ThankU!

Needs work

By papgturner on November 18, 2020

Loaded & activated plugin. Change scroll bar as promised. The scroll bar went auto hide even with this feature off. Began flicking when it did appear. Appeared behind the menu at top of page. Did not like that I could not change the height of the scroll button button. Icon for plugin misleading in my view. Can not change shape of button or texture of bar or add dash's or arrows at the top. Presume there is a pro version with these features maybe? Doesn't cut the mustard in my view. However it is free. I do not recommend just on my experience alone.

Simple, does the job!
