Description

Hi, I have a <Rheostat> component with disabled={true}, and it's getting displayed with a pointer cursor, making it appear to the user that this slider isn't disabled.

Basically these sliders shouldn't be focusable either when they're disabled.

Research direction
The issue reports that the disabled Rheostat component shows a pointer cursor and is still focusable. To fix, locate the Rheostat component (likely in a file like src/Rheostat.js or similar) and ensure that when disabled, the cursor style is set to 'not allowed' or default, and the component is not focusable (e.g., by adding the 'disabled' attribute to the slider element). The existing comment may contain additional context; no PRs are linked. Check the repository's CSS files for any existing disabled styles.
