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

Answer 1

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

• http://ftp.x.org/contrib/utilities/unclutter-8.README
• http://ftp.x.org/contrib/utilities/unclutter-8.tar.Z

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

Answer 2

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
