- unclutter is a program which runs permanently in the background of an
- X11 session. 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.
- This build conflicts with unclutter-xfixes. Only install one or the
- other.
