I made a fresh Raspian Bookworm install on my RPi4 and I would like to hide my cursor when it's not moving.
I installed the "wayfire-plugins-extra" and modified the /home/user/.config/wayfire.ini in the following way:
Pro: It works, the cursor only shows when I move my mouse.
Con: There is nothing on the screen at all. No terminal, no icons, no buttons... Just a black screen and my cursor when I move it. I can't even open a terminal via ctrl+alt+T to modify my wayfire.ini so I always have to plug the SD-card into my PC to change the commandline.txt to boot my RPi in safe mode to undo my changes.
This is how I installed wayfire-plugins-extra (it took me a couple of hours to research a working solution to install this at all):
