Always hide cursor in Xfce 4.8 with Debian Wheezy [closed]

StackOverflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14075219

Question

I would like to hide my cursor always. I have only SSH access to the machine.

Was it helpful?

Solution

Try with unclutter, is a small program that does just that.

It's present on the repositories of various distributions, for example on Arch Linux you can install it with:

pacman -S unclutter

Then you can start it by adding an entry for it on Settings » Session and Startup » Applications Autostart or (preferred method) by adding it to your .xinitrc file like this:

run unclutter

OTHER TIPS

EDIT: obsolete now

My solution was to download: A transparent cursor theme and do:

./configure
cd cursors
make install-data-local DESTDIR=/home/user/.icons/default CURSOR_DIR=/cursors
chown -R user:user /home/user/.icons
