Disable cursor #51

Closed jackwoodside closed 4 years ago

jackwoodside commented 5 years ago

Would it be possible to add an option to disable/hide the cursor? Seeing as how all that's present is an already focused textbox, it doesn't seem necessary to have it.

+1 on this, tried to do something with greeter-setup-scripts/session-setup-script but with no luck :(

And after I've set all colors to black and disabled the label the only thing left is the cursor

NPastorale commented 4 years ago

+1 this would be a really nice aesthetic touch to have

prikhi commented 4 years ago

What Linux distro are you all using? I didn't do this because on my Arch Linux setup, there is already no cursor.

jackwoodside commented 4 years ago

I'm also using Arch Linux and there is a cursor.

@0003c9fe I just pushed a possible fix to a new branch: https://github.com/prikhi/lightdm-mini-greeter/tree/gh-51-disable-cursor

Can you try the lightdm-mini-greeter-git package and see if it fixes the issue? You'll need to change the source array to:

source=("${pkgname}::git+https://github.com/prikhi/lightdm-mini-greeter.git#branch=gh-51-disable-cursor"
        "lightdm-mini-greeter.install")

Arch Linux + lightdm(duh) + awesomewm the whole time

Also your branch is gone (well possibly because u've already tested it and removed it)

Oops, sorry - should be up again: https://github.com/prikhi/lightdm-mini-greeter/tree/gh-51-disable-cursor

I was able to reproduce this with a default Manjaro install. That fix works but it doesn't seem possible to hide the mousecursor when it's over the text input so I gotta figure out the best way to move it to some arbitrary position and then I'll merge the fix.

prikhi commented 4 years ago

I updated the branch to hide the cursor when it is over the background windows & main window. It also moves the cursor to the upper-left corner of the primary monitor when started.

Would appreciate someone experiencing this issue to test out he gh-51-disable-cursor branch before merging - I've only been testing it in a VM.

Actually, was able to repro the issue w/ lightdm test-mode and it was fixed in the branch. So merged & fixed by 46d5225f3addd45af74e0174990f88f88e2e4089.

So I've installed the patched version, but then never rebooted and forgot about it at all :| Nice to have it fixed, thanks
