How to hide cursor


Is there anyway to hide cursor other than using transparent gif image?

  1. It appears that the Cursor class does not have a "blank" cursor to begin with, so one could define a new "blank" cursor using the Toolkit.createCustomCursor method.

    Here's one way I've tried which seems to work:

    // Transparent 16 x 16 pixel cursor image.
    BufferedImage cursorImg = new BufferedImage(16, 16, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB);

    // Create a new blank cursor.
    Cursor blankCursor = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().createCustomCursor(
    cursorImg, new Point(0, 0), "blank cursor");

    // Set the blank cursor to the JFrame.
    mainJFrame.getContentPane().setCursor(blankCursor);




    Edit

    Regarding the comment about everything inside the JFrame ending up without a cursor, it seems that the Components which are contained in the JFrame will end up inheriting the cursor of the container (the JFrame), so if it is a requirement to have a certain Component have the cursor appear, one would have to manually set the desired cursor.

    For example, if there is a JPanel contained in the JFrame, then one could set the cursor of that JPanel to the system's default using the Cursor.getDefaultCursor method:

    JPanel p = ...
    // Sets the JPanel's cursor to the system default.
    p.setCursor(Cursor.getDefaultCursor());

  2. frame.setCursor(frame.getToolkit().createCustomCursor(
    new BufferedImage(3, 3, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB), new Point(0, 0),
    "null"));

  3. When using the LWJGL under Mac OS you need to do this:

    System.setProperty("apple.awt.fullscreenhidecursor","true");

  4. I solve this problem much easier:

    final Timer cursorTimer = new Timer(2000, new ActionListener() {
    @Override
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
    getContentPane().setCursor(null);
    }
    });
    cursorTimer.start();

    addMouseMotionListener(new MouseMotionAdapter() {
    @Override
    public void mouseMoved(MouseEvent e) {
    getGlassPane().setCursor(Cursor.getDefaultCursor());
    cursorTimer.restart();
    }
    });

div not scrolling properly with slimScroll plugin

I am using the slimScroll plugin for jQuery by Piotr Rochala Which is a great plugin for nice scrollbars on most browsers but I am stuck because I am using it for a chat box and whenever the user appends new text to the boxit does scroll using the .scrollTop() method however the plugin's scrollbar doesnt scroll with it and when the user wants to look though the chat history it will start scrolling from near the top. I have made a quick demo of my situation http://jsfiddle.net/DY9CT/2/ Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Why does this javascript based printing cause Safari to refresh the page?

The page I am working on has a javascript function executed to print parts of the page. For some reason, printing in Safari, causes the window to somehow update. I say somehow, because it does not really refresh as in reload the page, but rather it starts the "rendering" of the page from start, i.e. scroll to top, flash animations start from 0, and so forth. The effect is reproduced by this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/fYmnB/ Clicking the print button and finishing or cancelling a print in Safari causes the screen to "go white" for a sec, which in my real website manifests itself as something "like" a reload. While running print button with, let's say, Firefox, just opens and closes the print dialogue without affecting the fiddle page in any way. Is there something with my way of calling the browsers print method that causes this, or how can it be explained - and preferably, avoided? P.S.: On my real site the same occurs with Chrome. In the ex
