Description Christoph Cullmann 2021-01-29 22:18:01 UTC

SUMMARY

Hide mouse cursor after some timout on the lock screen :=)

This is a pure wish, but I am always sad I need to move the cursor manually to some place not visible to not have it pollute the lock screen (until screens turn off for power saving)

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

1. Lock your screen

OBSERVED RESULT

Mouse cursor stays visible.

EXPECTED RESULT

Mouse cursor will get invisible after some timeout, that way, you can just stare on your nice lock screen background without any ugly cursor somewhere ;)

Should be shown again on movement.

Would be nice, yes. :)

+1 for this. I'm on an OLED panel and I want everything to dissapear from the screen after some time. Current KDE lockscreen elements dissapear (I have pure black background), but only the mouse remains. Appreciate if it can also disssapear together with rest of the elements and come back when a key is pressed or mouse is moved.

:) Still would like to have that. But if nobody has time for it in the close future, feel free to close it.

Comment 6 Samuel Gilbert 2024-05-03 18:54:17 UTC

It looks like it's fixed in kscreenlocker 6.0.4 (I'm testing with Arch Linux with Wayland).

Comment 7 Nate Graham 2024-05-03 23:47:05 UTC

That's good news. Are you seeing the same thing, Christoph?

Comment 8 Christoph Cullmann 2024-05-04 14:55:50 UTC

LOL, it does and I just didn't notice it. Thanks a lot that this is fixed!
