Hi,

How to hide mouse cursor while running application on walyand/weston.

It might be a Wayland issue. One thing you can try is set a transparent image for the cursor.

Hi,

Use the setOverrideCursor method with qt::BlankCursor.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply!

I have tried setOverrideCursor but its not working. Also I have tried on application still its not working. I am using Qt5.15.

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{

    QApplication a(argc, argv);
    //a.setOverrideCursor(QCursor(Qt::BlankCursor));
    //a.setOverrideCursor(Qt::BlankCursor);
    //QApplication.setOverrideCursor(QCursor(Qt::BlankCursor));
    //QCursor cursor(Qt::BlankCursor);
    //QApplication::setOverrideCursor(cursor);
    //QApplication::changeOverrideCursor(cursor);
    QApplication::setOverrideCursor(QCursor(Qt::BlankCursor));
    MainWindow w;

    //QCursor cursor(Qt::BlankCursor);
    //w.setCursor(cursor);
    //w.setCursor(QCursor(Qt::BlankCursor));
    w.showFullScreen();
    return a.exec();
}

Please help!

You need to provide more information such as:

• Qt version
• OS
• If Linux, distribution and window manager

[Bonty]

• QT version = Qt5.15
• OS = Linux (Yocto based linux)
• Wayland/Weston Desktop

Transparent image by QPixmap is working.
