      It is disabled via CSS I am not sure on which element html or body so adding something like the following to the custom css file should work:

      body {
      cursor:default;
      }
      

      We're all stories in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?

        As paviro said, the cursor is hidden as default, and to make stuff clickable you have to change the z-index of region-fullscreen to 0 (the fullscreen div is over everyrhing and blocks links and on click events.)

          Thanks @paviro …

            Just an update on this. I don’t know if the methodology has changed or this is just an additional way. In my MM, it seems like the cursor is being hidden by

            html {
              cursor: none;
            }
            

            so it can be shown with

            html {
              cursor: auto;
            }
            

            (default would probably work as well)

              @cweinhofer yes, but the design is a ‘mirror’ on a wall with no mouse or keyboard… why show the cursor, ever…

                when you running mm in a web-browser there are use cases for a cursor, e.g.

                • zooming in a map (MMM-RAIN-MAP, MMM-Flights, …)
                • clicking on newsfeed articles to get the article opened in a new window
                • …

                  I know this was the original design, but I’m assuming that there are other people like me who realize the value of this software, but are using it somewhat outside it’s original design.

                  In my case, I have two MM’s running in my house:
                  One is on my HTPC, where I bring up the HTPC interface when I want to watch something and I have a MM with MMM-BackgroundSlideshow running as a sort of MM-PhotoFrame hybrid when I don’t.
                  The other is my kitchen touchscreen computer that has MM 90% of the time, but the other 10% gets minimized to Ubuntu touch so I can bring up recipes.

                    @karsten13 not in a passive mirror

                    but for the extended use case with some active click device/mouse, then one can change it.
