Cursor shown in v2.16.0

sdetweil

so u can try develop, but there is no guarantee that is is fixed there

could fix the black cursor with an entry in custom.css:

html {
  cursor: none !important;
}

Can you test if this works on your side? If so we should change this in main.css (will provide a PR then).

Hi Kasten,

I tried !important in the custom.css and in the main.css. The cursor is still visible.
Even after after a reboot of the pi, the same, still visible.

I think I will wait for v2.17.0 in October.

@majorc

The cursor is still visible.

:(

tried yesterday on my pi3:

v2.16.0: no cursor
v2.17.0-develop: black cursor
v2.17.0-develop with css cursor: none !important;: no cursor

So waiting on v2.17.0 is no solution.

Another idea is to simulate a cursor movement on electron start.

@majorc

can you try to patch the file js/electron.js for a test, please add the following at line 74:

	mainWindow.webContents.on('dom-ready', (event)=> {
		mainWindow.webContents.sendInputEvent({type: "mouseMove", x: 0, y: 0});
	});

Does this hide the black cursor?

(I changed the code here again …)

Like so?

// Open the DevTools if run with "npm start dev"
	if (process.argv.includes("dev")) {
		if (process.env.JEST_WORKER_ID !== undefined) {
			// if we are running with jest
			var devtools = new BrowserWindow(electronOptions);
			mainWindow.webContents.setDevToolsWebContents(devtools.webContents);
		}
		mainWindow.webContents.openDevTools();
	}

	// Set responders for window events.
	mainWindow.webContents.on('dom-ready', (event)=> {
		mainWindow.webContents.sendInputEvent({type: "mouseMove", x: 0, y: 0});
	});
	
	mainWindow.on("closed", function () {
		mainWindow = null;
	});

That works perfekt! Thank you so much!
