      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

        Ejay
