H2R Graphics Settings

I lost a lot of time looking for a solution that was already built into H2R

You can change the default background color of your output window

There is an option to hide the cursor in H2R.

You might miss important and useful options under settings:

System settings can be accessed via the main application window

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).

This section is only here for reference if you are trying to hide the cursor for another application other than H2R Graphics

As of January 2024, if you are running 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.

The following steps are very much experimental but did work on Pi 5 running bookworm 64 bit

The solution presented here is based on this post:
