+# Transparent (hidden) cursor for X11 / Wayland
|
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
|
+#### Why?
|
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
|
+While trying to hide cursors for a kiosk in the latest Raspbian Buster, all my old tricks didn't work. This was mainly due to it using Wayland. Wayland doesn't have the `-nocursor` option that X does.
|
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
|
+Any hoo, I have never loved the old solutions I used anyways, since they requires addition software (unclutter) or, moving the mouse to 0,0 (which left 1 px showing).. Or, adding in some css, which chromium seems to break on occasion.
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
+#### How?
|
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
|
+Download the `transparent` file and overwrite any pointer file you want to hide. In the case of Wayland on Buster that file is:
|
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
|
+```
|
|
|
|
|
+/usr/share/icons/Adwaita/cursors/left_ptr
|
|
|
|
|
+```
|
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
|
+This file was generated with the `xcursorgen` command. You can duplicate the creation by running:
|
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
|
+```
|
|
|
|
|
+xcursorgen transparent.cfg transparent
|
|
|
|
|
+```
|
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
|
+or, in the case of the `left_ptr` file:
|
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
|
+```
|
|
|
|
|
+xcursorgen transparent.cfg left_ptr
|
|
|
|
|
+```
