Mouse pointer visible in cmc

Post by Teddyboy » Fri Feb 19, 2021 12:18 am

Sometimes when I need to connect a mouse to my htpc, I usually forget to move the mouse off the screen before I disconnect the mouse. When I fail to do that the mouse is visible in the interface when I’m looking for a movie to watch. The mouse pointer doesn’t disappears when a player launches and a movie starts to play. I didn't see a option to hide the mouse pointer. Could you hide the mouse pointer when cmc is running.

Please see here:

Hiding the mouse cursor is easy, it's getting it back that's the hard part.

Though perhaps a new idea is instead of setting the cursor property to hidden, I simply move it off-screen. That might be just as effective and won't have the nasty side-effect of not appearing when you need it.

Thanks Paul. I’ll take a look. Worse case I’ll just have to remember to move the mouse off screen. It’s not very often that I have to hook up a keyboard and mouse.
