说明
unclutter automatically hides the mouse cursor on X11 desktops after a configurable period of inactivity. When the user moves the mouse, the cursor immediately reappears, making the hiding completely transparent during normal use. The tool is particularly useful for presentations, kiosk displays, and keyboard-focused workflows where a stationary mouse pointer is a visual distraction. It can run as a background daemon and supports excluding specific windows from cursor hiding, allowing the cursor to remain visible in applications that need it. Two main implementations exist: the original X11 version and unclutter-xfixes, which uses the XFixes extension for a more modern approach. Both serve the same purpose but differ in implementation details and compatibility with compositing window managers.
