Mouse pointer to disappear after a while?

[bodhi-baum]

It always bothers me that the mouse pointer does not disappear / fade out after a certain time.

Can this possibly be integrated as a feature?

[Axel-Erfurt]

I think this is difficult since mpv is embedded in the main window.

That would be one possibility, then the mouse cursor would be hidden in full screen mode.

hypnotix.py line 1694 function toggle_fullscreen

    def toggle_fullscreen(self):
        if self.stack.get_visible_child_name() == "channels_page":
            # Toggle state
            self.fullscreen = not self.fullscreen
            if self.fullscreen:
                # Fullscreen mode
                self.window.fullscreen()
                self.sidebar.hide()
                self.headerbar.hide()
                self.status_label.hide()
                self.info_revealer.set_reveal_child(False)
                self.channels_box.set_border_width(0)
                ### hide mouse cursor ###
                blank = Gdk.Cursor(Gdk.CursorType.BLANK_CURSOR)
                self.window.get_window().set_cursor(blank)
            else:
                # Normal mode
                self.window.unfullscreen()
                if self.content_type == TV_GROUP:
                    self.sidebar.show()
                self.headerbar.show()
                self.channels_box.set_border_width(12)
                ### show mouse cursor ###
                arrow = Gdk.Cursor(Gdk.CursorType.ARROW)
                self.window.get_window().set_cursor(arrow)

Disapearing in fullscreen mode would be quite good.

Axel-Erfurt could you bring your code in?

[ALi3naTEd0]

I'm also very interested in this, since I've been using hypnotix for a while now, and I love it, I'm coming from Windows so appreciate the work!

[Axel-Erfurt]

Axel-Erfurt could you bring your code in?

I have done.

[ALi3naTEd0]

So we need to edit py file like above?

[Axel-Erfurt]

You can try the deb from my Releases

It's like the original with the added feature of hiding the mouse cursor in full screen mode.

[ALi3naTEd0]

The thing is, I'm on Garuda Linux, so it was available by default. I'm not sure how to get/update that version...

[Axel-Erfurt]

You can also wait and see if the pull request is accepted.

[ALi3naTEd0]

That will make hypnotix to auto-update next paru -Syu right?

I guess I could also just clone the git since it's updated? And makepkg from there?

Edit: didn't work there's not PKGBUILD

[ALi3naTEd0]

Today hypnotix got updated, but they won't fix this yet, why?

[Axel-Erfurt]

It always takes a while for pull requests to be checked and accepted or rejected.
