Completely hide mouse cursor when TOUCHSCREEN=true

Open mishoboss opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

By using the default unclutter idle time the mouse cursor is visible for like several seconds after interaction, which on touchscreen is usually undesired behaviour.

I tried xset -nocursor, but had no effect for some reason, so I set unclutter with -idle 0.01. Which works, but when dragging the cursor is still visible. Ultimately we should start xorg wih completely hidden or invisible cursor (maybe supply a custom cursor icon 1x1 pixel).

Hey, what about that one? Cursor is ruining the smooth experience :(

Hey Adam, do you have a roadmap for this one. Would be so much more awesome without cursor on touchscreens.

@mishoboss already released in chromium-kiosk 2.5 and qiosk 1.8

use configuration option:

CURSOR:
    ENABLED: false
