    Does this answer your question? [How to change CSS according to user Operating System](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/39012649/how-to-change-css-according-to-user-operating-system) <=> interesting how similar those two titles are – caramba Apr 22 '20 at 17:40

It's simple. Check user platform in navigator. Then do something like:

if ( navigator.platform == "Win32" ) {
    // apply css-styling of cursor.
    document.getElementById("body").style.cursor = "progress";
}

The possible values are:

  • MacIntel
  • MacPPC
  • Mac68K
  • Win32
  • Win16
  • SunOS
  • HP-UX
  • Linux i686

Supported browsers:

  • Google Chrome
  • Internet Explorer & Edge
  • Firefox
  • Opera
  • Safari
