 ==== Hide the mouse pointer ====
-If you use only the keyboard to control the interface, the **mouse pointer** at the center of the screen is definitely annoying. Fortunately enough there is the Debian package **unclutter**: once installed you will find a running process when you initiate your desktop session:
+The **[[https://github.com/RigacciOrg/photo-reframe-slideshow|photo-reframe]]** program used as directory browser and slideshow, uses the **setOverrideCursor()** function to **hide the mouse pointer** when run full screen.

 The mouse pointer will disappear after one second of **idle time**, just to reappear if you move the mouse. If you want to customize the options, change the file **/etc/default/unclutter**.
-:!: Unfortunately it seems that **unclutter does not work in Wayland**, the alternative to X installed by the latest Raspberry Pi OS (based on Debian 12). FIXME
+:!: Unfortunately the **unclutter** program **does not work in Wayland**, which is the graphical backend installed by the Raspberry Pi OS based on Debian 12, in replacement of the legacy X11. If you search for an hide cursor solution on Wayland, beware of this [[https://github.com/seffs/wayfire-plugins-extra-raspbian/releases|hide-cursor plugin]] which is intended for the **Wayland** + **Wayfire** environment (backend and window manager). On the Raspberry Pi 2 only the **Wayland** + **Labwc** environment is supported. For this reason I decided to use raspi-congif and [[raspberry_x_wayland|revert back to the X11]].
