Hide mouse pointer in full-screen mode in multi-display configurations #17

A feature request: Please auto-hide the mouse pointer when the emulator is in full-screen mode. Thanks!

Just tested, mouse cursor (pointer) gets hidden in both full-screen and pseudo-full-screen modes. Do you mean maximized window (with window titlebar and menu visible), not full-screen mode?

When I load a game and press ALT+ENTER, bsnes_mt goes into full-screen mode. The game works fine and I can play without any frame drops, however, it seems like the Windows mouse pointer or cursor doesn't disappear even after few minutes of playing.

Does this happen when you switch into full-screen mode in original bsnes? Cannot reproduce: the cursor disappears for me when going into full-screen mode, regardless of the video driver selected via the emulator settings. Are you sure you are using bsnes-mt and not some other bsnes fork?

image Yes I am using the official bsnes_mt build. see the screenshot attached.

Anyways, I just found out that the reason why the mouse is still visible even in full-screen mode is that I am using a dual monitor setup. I unplugged the other monitor, restarted bsnes_mt, loaded the game, pressed ALT+ENTER, and the mouse gets automatically hidden.

This issue is now closed.

...but can you please add an option wherein the mouse gets invisible/hidden at full-screen mode regardless of how many monitors the user has?

Thanks for the info, I will test multi-display config and consider hiding cursor.
