Post by: Richard Cranium on April 28, 2026, 05:59:46 PM

Remember my picture frame project??   https://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php?topic=27873.msg180279#msg180279 (https://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php?topic=27873.msg180279#msg180279)

Well , I'm finishing it now , It all works and I've loaded a GB's worth of pics into (I'll probably write a sort of "how-to" on it) , so now I'm gathering the wood pieces to build the "frame" for the laptop guts..

But anyway ,I noticed something , the mouse cursor is always in the way , I did my homework and through the magic of forum search I discovered "HideMouse" in the repo.. I installed it and tried to figure out how to have it running , buuuuttt....... I'm scratching my head...

Can You help?????   Thanks man...

Hi Richard Cranium
I think AutoCursor.tcz might be a better choice:

If you just want to permanently hide the cursor, this should work:

Code: [Select]

sudo AutoCursor -i &
If you want it to start automatically, create a file called AutoCursor
and place the above command in it. Copy the file to your .X.d
directory. Once the GUI is running, that command will be executed.
