Custom Cursor Changes to the normal cursor when hovering over gui buttons

Hello! I have a custom cursor in my game, but, every time i hover over a GUI, the cursor becomes the normal bland mouse. I have tried the hover image option on these buttons, but it really just changes the picture to the mouse image. Anyone have any thoughts?

Not sure if there’s a better way, but I’ve just done it like this:

LocalScript located in StarterGui:

--change neutral cursor icon
neutral = 'rbxassetid://2354639945' --your neutral icon
mouse = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()
mouse.Icon = neutral

--variables
Entered = false --variable for gui hover
button = script.Parent --change to your button location

--cursor hovering on gui
button.MouseEnter:connect(function()
   if Entered == false then
      Entered = true
      mouse.Icon = 'rbxassetid://2354640534' --your hover icon
   end
end)

--cursor leaving gui
button.MouseLeave:connect(function()
   if Entered == true then
      Entered = false
      mouse.Icon = neutral
   end
end)

--clicking mouse on and off a gui
mouse.Button1Down:connect(function()
	if Entered == true then --if hovering on gui then
		mouse.Icon = 'rbxassetid://2359372698' --your hover click icon
		wait(.1)
		mouse.Icon = 'rbxassetid://2354640534' --your hover default icon

	elseif Entered == false then --if out of a gui then
		mouse.Icon = 'rbxassetid://2359372118' --your neutral click icon
		wait(.1)
		mouse.Icon = neutral
	end
end)

Also note that I used this localscript for a frame (not a button gui), so if it acts weird for you on a button, try using a normal frame. I know this method for hover detection is pretty annoying, especially when you have several buttons, so let’s hope someone comes through with an easier script.

From what I can tell, you haven’t told the mouse to STAY as your custom cursor, so it will revert to the standard when hovered over the GUI.
