hide mousepointer / hide taskbar

[SoltrX 0]

Hello,

a hide/show mousepointer and hide/show taskbar command would be very nice...

or some workarounds exists ?

I don't recall seeing a hide mouse. But you can move it to the bottom right of the screen and all that will show of it is one pixel (if that. Try it right now with your mouse) then you can lock out the desktop/mouse from interaction untill you want them to be able to use them and then move the mouse back to the middle of the screen and unlock the inputs. viola

Why exactly do you want to hide these? is there a specific reason? if it's just to lock out the user.. you can do that already without hiding anything.

I'am planing a HTPC (Media PC).

Mouse and taskbar is there not nesassary.

when taskbar ist visible and i run a external program from my htpc software... so in some times i lose focus on my htpc soft (e.g. external programm is minimalized to taskbar).

To hide the mouse is only a 'good-looking' feature.
