Kivy: Hide mouse cursor on desktop

Question

I have a fullscreen app and I'm trying to hide the mouse cursor. The setup is Kivy 1.9.0 on Python 3.4.1 for Windows, using the prepared packages.

I have tried the following approaches, with no success:

1- Using Config object:

from kivy.config import Config
Config.set("graphics", "show_cursor", 0)

2- Editing .kivy\config.ini:

[graphics]
.
.
.
show_cursor = 0

3- Using pygame:

import pygame
pygame.init()
pygame.mouse.set_visible(False)

4- Moving the mouse off-screen:

def move_mouse_away(etype, motionevent):
  # this one doesn't get called at all
  Window.mouse_pos = [1400, 1000]

Window.bind(on_motion=move_mouse_away)

5- Using Clock for a similar effect:

Clock.schedule_interval(self._reset_mouse, 0.05)

def _reset_mouse(self, time):
  Window.mouse_pos = [1400, 1400]

I'm a little out of ideas now.

Answer 1

You can use Window.show_cursor

It was added in kivy version 1.9.1

from kivy.core.window import Window
Window.show_cursor = False
