Change mouse cursor on hover

[Septias]

Is it currently possible to change the mouse-cursor to say pointer when an element is hovered?

You can change the cursor icon with https://docs.rs/egui/latest/egui/struct.PlatformOutput.html#structfield.cursor_icon
If you want to show text where the cursor is, use the Painter API and just draw some text.

Is there a way to get the context object in a deeply nested ui-function structure? We use some utility-functions to create the ui and only pass ui in the arguments, so I have no direct way to use https://docs.rs/egui/latest/egui/struct.Context.html#method.output

https://docs.rs/egui/latest/egui/struct.Ui.html#method.ctx - I can really recommend reading through the docs and examples. You will learn a lot!

Uh, I'm sorry that is quite an obviouse one. I skimmed for that method but only looked for context() and not ctx().
