# H2R Graphics Settings

{% hint style="info" %}
You can change the default background color of your output window
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
There is an option to hide the cursor in H2R. 
{% endhint %}

You might miss important and useful options under settings:

If like me you use Luma and not Chroma, you probably want your default output background to be black. It can be set under Settings/Output.

Same for hiding the cursor, simply select hide and H2R will hide the cursor. Something that is  very difficult to achieve if you are running Wayland (as of Feb 2024).

{% hint style="info" %}
This section is only here for reference if you are trying to hide the cursor for another application other than H2R Graphics
{% endhint %}

As of January 2024, if you are running [Wayland](/32-bits-or-64-bits.md#x11-or-wayland)  it is still very much work-in-progress if you need to hide the mouse cursor.  With X11, the previous windows manager, simple add-ons such as unclutter could easily achieve this task.
