unclutter: unclutter (x11 tool for removing mouse clutter from the screen) unclutter: unclutter: unclutter is a program which runs permanently in the background of an unclutter: X11 session. It checks the X11 pointer (cursor) position every few unclutter: seconds, and when it has not moved (and no buttons are pressed on the unclutter: mouse, and the cursor is not in the root window), it creates a small unclutter: sub-window as a child of the window the cursor is in. The new window unclutter: installs a cursor of size 1x1 but a mask of all 0, i.e. an invisible unclutter: cursor. This allows you to see all of the text in e.g. an xterm. unclutter: unclutter:
