UNSOLVED Cursor shown in v2.16.0

MajorC

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.

@majorc maybe install unclutter?

@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.

@majorc so, it sounds like a defect in the electron version in 2.16

MajorC

@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 if u use chrome do u see the cursor

my prior comment was that maybe WE don’t have a solution

@sdetweil I see the cursor only on the pi. And it disappears if I move the mouse the first time on the pi. But the cursor is visible again after i do a

pm2 restart 0

On my windows machine witch chrome, I don’t see the cursor at no time.

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

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