Cursor

From the RuneScape Wiki, the wiki for all things RuneScape

A cursor in RuneScape, if turned on in the Graphical Settings menu, are by default a simple brown-coloured mouse pointer. However, when hovering certain options (such as eating food) in the game, a "bubble" appears over the cursor, inside which is an image that shows what action will be performed if the user were to click on that option.

[edit] Trivia

• Previously, the Twirl emote was called Spin, and hovering a mouse over it caused the crafting cursor to appear, due to the similarity of name to Spinning wool in crafting. Because of this, Jagex renamed the emote Twirl.
