getting rid of the mouse cursor

**ummagawd** · 03-28-2005, 12:21 AM

Is it possible for the mouse cursor to hide during full screen mode? Or just hide it period whenever FP is running?

I don't think anyone would need to know where the mouse is if you're running a touchscreen.

Look in frodoplayer.ini

HIDECURSORGLOBAL=false

should be

HIDECURSORGLOBAL=true

had a question on something else that's still noticable once you turn off the cursor, is there any way to turn off the windows popup box thingy when your cursor is hovering over something? would do a search except I don't know exactly what they are called and I don't think i'd find anything usefull searching for windows popup box thingy.

Disable tooltips in the .ini settings

I have that same problem. I dont have to completely shut down FP to get rid of it, just minimize it and click on some other windows program. (I keep notepad open in the background) Once you've clicked on that program, you can go back to FP and the mouse will be gone. [This only works if you actually click on notepad, just minimizing FP and reopening it wont do the trick]
