      Hi,

      I have a solid black cursor on my MM v2.16.0. The cursor disappears as soon as I move the mouse the first time.

      In the main.css I see:

      html {
        cursor: none;
        overflow: hidden;
        background: var(--color-background);
        user-select: none;
        font-size: var(--font-size);
      }
      

      I used the script from @sdetweil to update and install my MM.

      Any ideas how to fix that? I think, I saw this behavior first time after updating to v2.15.0.

        I have that too but am still in the setup phase from the Magic Mirror. The mouse and keyboard are still connected. Have you seen these solutions?

        A transparent PNG or GIF file will probably not work either, because a mouse movement is expected.

        cursor: url(pointer.png), none;
        

        the “none” is a necessary fallback.

            @sdetweil as it was working fine before, I am not 100% happy to just install something over.

              Fun fact, if I move the the mouse, the cursor disappears immediately.

                  @sdetweil I do not know what that mean. Is there a way that I can fix it?

                  Or do I have to wait for version 17?

                        @majorc so, that confirms it’s an electron issue.

                        you could change to run server mode with chrome on the pi.
