Feature request: Ditch the mouse cursor automatically

[neilbradley]

When I've gone full screen with 3.0.7, the mouse cursor is visible. The only way I've been able to find to make it invisible is to move it to the right of the screen so it's basically "off" the screen.

The big problem with this is I have a Logitech MX3100 cordless mouse. The mouse recharger station is vertical, which means the sheer act of putting it back in the cradle causes the mouse cursor to reappear because it moves. Takes many tries to get it right.

How 'bout a feature in SageTV that will "make mouse cursor disappear after x seconds of non use"?

[something fishy]

Mine does this already I think. Even if it doesn't disappear from the Sage menu screens it does the instant video appears.

Cheers

In my experience, the cursor is hidden with the OSD, but if you get the cursor displayed after that, it won't go away until the OSD is hidden again.

If it's visible when I start a show and I manually close the OSD by hitting the info button then it stays on the screen, but if I wait a few seconds and let the OSD go off by itself the cursor disappears as well.

There is also a properties file setting:

ui/disable_mouse_motion_trigger (default true==disabled)

Maybe setting this to false will cause the mouse to unhide after it has been moved?
