Mouse arrow doesn't hide after MagicMirror is loaded

[Cr4z33]

I am testing my final MM build on the TV when I just noticed that the mouse arrow doesn’t hide.

Any reason why it is showing and how can I automatically hide it after MM loading?

Hi,

From the doc here:

https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/wiki/Configuring-the-Raspberry-Pi

Autohiding the Mouse Pointer
Install unclutter:

sudo apt-get install unclutter
You can create an .xinitrc script to run the tool.
See https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Unclutter

But a simpler option is to add a line to the end of the file:

$ nano ~/.config/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart
...
@unclutter -display :0 -idle 3 -root -noevents
This will add a 3 second delay, before the pointer disappears from the screen when not using it.

Hope this helps
