      Some additional notes:

      • The screensaver settings appear to have been set in the /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart file
      • No settings have been adjusted in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
      • The mouse pointer auto remove configuration has not been completed, but there appears to be no issue with the pointer remaining on the screen once Electron loads
      • There was no change made to the system to disable power saving on the WLAN interface - as a result, the interface seemingly “could” go into powersave mode and affect network connectivity (I have not yet experienced an issue with this)

        correct, there is no mod for mouse pointer.
        can also be done in css
        cursor: none;

        also no setting change for wlan power

          -Should- the WLAN power setting be changed? It would seem that this would be a wise approach to ensure it doesn’t go into powersave mode.

              I believe the rules are less important than the consequences. I don’t believe WLAN has a good track record overall of waking up from a sleep state. And, regardless of how much it’s directly used, you can bet that the one time it won’t work is when you try using the remote control module to power it down. :)
