WCAG 3.0 is an active W3C Working Draft in development by the AGWG. Requirements, assertions, the conformance model and reporting tiers are still being developed and may change. The latest published draft is the 10 September 2026 Working Draft; this site follows the editors’ draft, which also includes exploratory provisions.
A more visible pointer indicator than the platform default is offered, switchable on in a setting, shown either temporarily or permanently.
Why It Matters
Finding the pointer is a recurring problem for people with low vision, attention-related disabilities and anyone on a large or high-resolution display.
Provide a setting to adjust the pointer indicator.

Provide a more visible pointer indicator than the platform default. The enhanced pointer indicator can be enabled in a setting, and be visible temporarily (for a few seconds) or permanently.
