Can I hide the cursor when screen sharing?

I'd like to hide the cursor on the screen share device. Is that possible?

You want to hide your cursor when sharing your screen?
You could always hide the cursor in a corner of your monitor and then use keyboard commands to navigate your application, or, if you have second screen, leave your mouse cursor on the non-shared screen.
There is no method of omitting your cursor from your screen share, as that is part of sharing your screen. There is the option to show the 'application' cursor, instead of the Connect Presenter cursor.

Hide the cursor when it not move?

how to hide the cursor when it not move?
i know how to creat a hide_cursor,but i want to hide it when the cursor not move and show it when it starts move again
thank you!

Create a javax.swing.Timer that has a 5 second initial
delay, non-repeating. When it fires, it should hide
the cursor (set to a blank cursor or whatever you have
to do). Then on mouse motion events, you show the
cursor and reset the timer.A good idea - is there no mouseNotMoved-event ?
heres my sample-code:import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.awt.image.MemoryImageSource;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.event.MouseInputAdapter;
public class HiddenCursorListener extends MouseInputAdapter implements ActionListener {
     private static final Cursor HIDDEN_CURSOR =
          Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().createCustomCursor(
               Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().createImage(new MemoryImageSource(16, 16, new int[16 * 16], 0, 16)),
               new Point(0, 0),
               "HIDDEN_CURSOR");
     private static final Cursor DEFAULT_CURSOR = new Cursor(Cursor.DEFAULT_CURSOR);
     private Timer timer;
     private int timerDelay=1000;
     private Window window;
     public HiddenCursorListener(Window win) {
          window=win;
     public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent e){
          startTimer();
     public void mouseMoved(MouseEvent e) {
          showCursor();
     public void mouseDragged(MouseEvent e) {
          showCursor();
     public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e){
          showCursor();
     public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
          hideCursor();
     private void hideCursor(){
          if (window.getCursor() != HIDDEN_CURSOR)
               window.setCursor(HIDDEN_CURSOR);
     private void showCursor(){
          if (window.getCursor() != DEFAULT_CURSOR)
               window.setCursor(DEFAULT_CURSOR);
     private void startTimer(){
          timer = new Timer(timerDelay, this);
          timer.start();
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          JFrame f = new JFrame("Hidden-Cursor-Test");
          f.setSize(500, 500);
          f.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
          f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
          HiddenCursorListener lis = new HiddenCursorListener(f);
          f.addMouseMotionListener(lis);
          f.addMouseListener(lis);
          f.setVisible(true);

How can I hide the cursor?

I want to hide the cursor if the mouse enter some Components or a JFrame.
I tried to find methods to solve my problem, but I failed.
Someone can tall me how to do? Thanks.

One way to do this is to create a custom cursor based on a completely tranparent image. Then when you want to hide the cursor, set the cursor to the transparent one.
==================================================================
* Create a 'hidden' cursor by using a transparent image
* @return the invisible cursor
Cursor createInvisibleCursor()
Dimension bestCursorDim = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getBestCursorSize(2, 2);
BufferedImage transparentImage = new BufferedImage(bestCursorDim.width, bestCursorDim.height, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB);
Cursor hiddenCursor = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit( ).createCustomCursor(transparentImage,
new Point(1, 1),
"HiddenCursor");
return hiddenCursor;

How can we hide the Desktop when Dashboard is invoked?

Widgets do not display elegantly against a cluttered desktop, nor even against a clean desktop with a busy photo for wallpaper.
Is there any kind of preference (or etc.) that would cause the Desktop always to go hidden (go black, go solid color, intensely darken or etc.) whenever Dashboard is invoked?
In other words, how can we stop the Desktop from "bleeding through" the display of our widgets?
Many thanks.
iMac core duo Mac OS X (10.4.10)

Hi ChicagoLarry,
No way in the system I know of.
I found this Desktopple Pro widget on this site. I haven't tried it myself and am not a fan of haxies, so use at your own risk.
EDIT:
Actually the reviews on MacUpdate are quite positive. There is also a free version Desktopple 1.1

How can we take the cursor to a different sub-screen from the BADI?

Hi,
We have to do some validation on Header, Operation and Relationship of any work order (IW31, IW32). We have checked that validations can be done at BADI WORKORDER_UPDATE in the method u2018AT_SAVEu2019. But user wants us to take the Cursor back to the field and screen due to which the error is coming. How can we take the cursor to a different sub-screen from the BADI?
Thanks in Advance,
Pranav

You 'ran out of room' because you tried to put your entire question into what is the 'Topic line' of the post.
This is a fairly common error, as a scan of the topic list will show, and likely due to a design flaw in the layout of the composition page.
Most posters who make this error do so on their first post, and are able to avoid a similar misstep on their second and subsequent questions.

The same is happening for me. Today I decided to reboot my PC because it was acting up a bit, go figure, and then for some reason at the same time the PC was restarting my macbook froze. I had to do a reboot with the restart button but then all that came up was a gray background and in the middle of the screen was a darker gray folder with a white question mark in the middle of it, blinking. I can't imagine why the restart would've affected my macbook. After finding information on how to fix this, I tried all of the steps that were given about using the mac OS X disk to use the first aid utility to fix it. When using the Disk Utility option whenever I select my hardrive and am in the First Aid tab, the only button I can use is the Verify Disk Permissions. The other three buttons, and namely the most important Repair Disk button, is/are not selectable (grayed out). I then tried resetting the PRAM the way they also said with the command + option + P + R and waited for the second startup sound. After that I gave the Disk Utility a second try, but still nothing. And now if I try to just reinstall the OS completely I can't even select a destination volume on the third step (Select Destination). Apparently this means i'm SOL.

User troubleshooting steps as outlined in the manual include restart, reset, restore, restore as new. Have you tried any of these? Restart involves powering off your phone and powering back on. Reset involves the following procedure:
Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

I updated my iMac to lion and now when i leave my desktop and it goes into stand by it like a picture is taken of the screen and when i want to log in the mouse point removes pixels so i can get to the user login screen this never happened ith snow leopar

i upgraded my iMac to lion and now when i leave my desktop and it goes into stand by mode, its like a picture is taken of the actice desktop and when i want to log in the mouse point removes pixels so i can get to the user login screen this never happened ith snow leopard. does anyone else experience this and is there a fix?

I have an iMac 8, 1 that I upgraded Leopard to Snow Leopard. It was totally updated with the latest from Apple when I bought and tried installing Lion. The upgrade failed, shot my OS and I couldn't boot. Had the constant spinner on a grey screen.. did a format of the drive, hdd repair and everything came back clean... got back to Snow Leopard and all the updates on it again and then retried the Lion thing... same bs... dead duck. Crashed my system one too many times. I can't see where a few small changes, mostly app related can be classified as an OS upgrade and is not compatible with my iMac. I have the stuff running on my Mac Pro but have yet to notice anything impressive. I've always used F3 and really didn't require Mission Control. Just open you app folder for launch pad... duh? I use the hot corners anyhow. As far as Safari is concerned... as a power user, Apple missed the boat on that for me.. full screen etc.. Wow. I don't like the new Mail either..
As you can see/read, I'm less than impressed with this release from Apple but I own so many of their products that I will have to put up with it for now... somehow the MS logo should apply to this release Steve.

Hide mouse cursor when typing is not working in IE11 Windows7

Hide mouse cursor when typing is not working in IE11 Windows7 - I saw a post that devs were looking at this in 2011? Slow progress huh?
This is really annoying when you have to move the cursor to see what you are typing...

Hi,
Please first make sure that Mouse Properties\Pointer options\Hide pointer while typing is ticked.
If this option is already ticked, then try following steps to troubleshoot:
Update the driver for the mouse to get the best performance.
Choose a different cursor as Rob said for a test.
If this issue occurred recently, check if you have any newly installed programs or IE add-ons which cause this issue, you can test this in no add-ons mode, click start button, type "internet" in the search box, choose "internet explorer (No add-on)".
* I test in My IE, I have Hide pointer while typing checked, and in some typing boxes in IE the cursor will hide automatically, while some are not, but I think it's not an annoying issue for me.*

How can i hide the menu bar at the bottom of the app in itunes

how can I hid the bar at the bottom of the App screen in itunes. Where it shows how much audio, app etc space you have left on your device

Unforrtunately the status bar doesn't make any difference, however I have worked out that the bar does show when I go into full screen.
I would have thought it should also work when not in full screen - it certianly used to.
