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.

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.
