Please add an option to hide the local cursor

[tinywolf]

The local cursor is displayed ridiculously large. I only want to see the remote cursor. I need an option to hide the local cursor.

The local cursor covers a lot of the screen.

Hi,

can you tell us what macOS and NoMachine versions are you having this problem on?

[tinywolf]

MacBook Air M1, 2020

macOS Sonoma 14.5

NoMachine 8.11.3

However, this has been this issue since the previous versions.

I asked in this forum last year #42709

I assume macOS is the client, what is the server machine you are running your session on? Is there any system display scaling enabled there? Are you, by any chance, running a nested session (you are connected to a server and have opened a new connection from that server)?

[tinywolf]

No nested session.

2 server machines. Wbuntu 22.04, MS Windows 11. Both machines have the same problem.

I use mainly “scale to window” and “fullscreen”. But, the issue occurs in any option state.

I’m using a size-up cursor on the server machines.

in MS Windows 11 -> attached image

in ubuntu 22.04 -> attached image

I wasn’t precise enough when asking about scaling: I didn’t mean cursor scaling alone, I meant scaling in the system display settings. Can you please clarify that maybe with a screenshot?

That said, we couldn’t reproduce your problem in our labs. Can you send us zipped logs from following folders on the server side while the problem occurs:$HOME/.nx from linux or %USERPROFILE%\.nx from Windows?

Please send them to forums[at]nomachine[dot]com

I have found the cause of this issue. It was the client-side mouse pointer size. When I changed the pointer size on macos to 100%, the remote and local cursor sizes are same. But when I increased the pointer size on macos to 400%, the local cursor became too large. I want to use 400% cursor size on the server side and 400% cursor size on the client side too. Can you please give me an option to hide the local cursor or make it a dot pointer in the NoMachine’s client settings?

Just a quick update on this. We are currently evaluating whether to make this possible and how it can be achieved, possibly with a key in the connection file.
