unable to hide cursor/pointer over fullscreen figure

4 views (last 30 days)
I have a fullscreen figure over which I am unable to hide the cursor unless I reduce the figure to "maximum" instead of "fullscreen"
What am I doing wrong?
% Create fullscreen figure
main_window = figure('Visible','on','units','normalized','outerposition',[0,0,1,1],...
'MenuBar','none',...
'DockControls','off',...
'NumberTitle','off',...
'Name','DSP',...
'color','w',...
'WindowState','fullscreen',...
'UserData',struct(),...
'Tag','DSP_Task_main_window');
% hide cursor
set(main_window, 'Pointer', 'custom', 'PointerShapeCData', NaN(16,16))

Form my understanding you want to hide cursor in Fullscreen WindowState. I have tried to replicate this issue and in my case, I see it working fine (hiding cursor in Fullscreen). In your case make sure you are not running any applications which add overlay over your screen.

As soon as I start the file, it goes into fullscreen and hides the cursor for about half a second, but then it shows up again, even if I don't touch or move anything

I have used the same code that you have mentioned above, and for me the cursor is not visible at all (even if I wait for really long time). I am using windows 10. Which OS are you using?
