It checks on the X11 pointer (cursor) position every +few seconds, and when it finds it has not moved (and no buttons are +pressed on the mouse, and the cursor is not in the root window) it +creates a small sub-window as a child of the window the cursor is in. +The new window installs a cursor of size 1x1 but a mask of all 0, ie +an invisible cursor. This allows you to see all the text in an xterm +or xedit, for example. The human factors crowd would agree it should +make things less distracting. + +This is an "old-school" X11 app, from the days before desktop +environments. To run when X starts, add "unclutter &" to your .xinitrc, +before the line that execs your window manager. |
