Can’t find an option.
There’s a package called “unclutter”. You can launch it in a terminal (e.g.
unclutter -idle 2) to play around with the options.
When you’re happy with your flags, you’ll need to add it to the auto-start applications.It’s not perfect, though. For one, it doesn’t work on Wayland.
And secondly, when your mouse cursor is hidden, many applications will also hide any UI elements that were shown by hovering your mouse cursor over them (e.g. tooltips, dropdown menus).
Either don’t set the idle timeout too low or try to move your cursor lightly while hovering over something you need to read…Thank you for the reply, I didn’t thought it was a so problematic function to obtain. I manly need it to play on Steam since most of the time the cursor appear randomly, even when using gamepads or big picture mode.
Hmm, I guess, you could start it only while using Steam, then it probably won’t annoy you and the default configuration should be fine.
And yeah, I wish, it wasn’t such a problematic function. Maybe there is a better way to do it. At least I assume, making the cursor transparent rather than removing it completely, could behave better in certain situations. I’m not aware of an application that currently works like that, though…
