I agree that a lot of the compiz 'bling' in far from neccessary, but one of the main reasons I keep compiz enabled is the zoomer. The ability to zoom into parts of the desktop to see exactly what's there is invaluable to someone who's sight isn't anywhere as good as it was (and that's not saying much!). [pruned]
Now, the Magnifier I *do* like - and thanks very much for mentioning it otherwise I would simply have ignored it.
However, is there any way of getting rid of the cursor once the magnifier has been activated so that the darn thing does not interfere with what one is looking at?
Ciao.
Hi Basil
Alas, i can't find a way of hiding that - I have to keep moving the cursor out of the way to see the magnified content. This might be worthy of a bug report to the compiz team.
Thanks for looking. I wouldn't say that it is a bug but probably a necessary enhancement.
The other thing is that in many applications the cursor goes transparent after a few seconds but then reappears as soon as it is moved. The last bit is not wanted but the first part is. Perhaps there is already some setting which would at least make the cursor go transparent. I'll play around with this idea later.
Ciao.
As I'm not familiar I can't relly say, but you can check if "unclutter" is running. I've used unclutter since the early 1990's to hide that infernal cursor that masks part of the text you are reading. With unclutter, the cursor disappears after 10 seconds and reappears when the mouse is next moved. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...
