It's expected. On macOS (in general, on desktop) mouse cursors don't change to hand when hovering over buttons, unless it's on a Web page. You can try it on all kinds of system apps (not Chrome).

@dkwingsmt does that not apply to the material widgets? Cuz all (probably) material widgets changes cursor style on all desktop platforms.
dkwingsmt commentedon May 24, 2025
@OutdatedGuy Funnily I was a little surprised to know it (even though I added mouse cursor to them myself) and had to check some code to confirm. That being said, I think the design still makes sense since for Material we can not reference the experience on any desktop platforms but tablets, while for Cupertino we were mirroring macOS.
In general setting default mouse cursors were a hard job due to lack of specs and I have to admit that some of them probably was chosen inconsistently. I'm open to different ideas for discussion.

@dkwingsmt it makes sense to not change cursor style by default for cupertino widgets as macOS and it's system apps follow that practise. But having a way to change cursor style easily (e.g. with a property value) would be nice to keep UI consistency when using both Material and Cupertino elements.
CupertinoSwitchhas a mouseCursor property, so making all (almost) widgets to have that property would be great for consistency.dkwingsmt commentedon Jun 5, 2025
I agree! Although, the issues you mentioned would be duplicate of #58192. I'm therefore going to close this issue. Please don't hesitate to reopen or file a new issue if you have more questions. And if you're willing to add the
mouseCursorproperty to the widgets, feel free to ask me for review! Thank you!Feat: Add mouse cursor for CupertinoDialogAction (#169051)
