    We can't fix anything here because we are all users just like yourself. 

     

    Why do you want the cursor to hide in full screen?  How will you know where it is in order to select a photo, menu, project, button,  etc.?

    Hi Old Toad

    Thank you for the fast reply.

     

    Why: Because I want to see my phtograph without the mouse.

     

    How: I will know where it is in order when it reappears while I move it and re-hides after two seconds without moving (like in almost every video or photo program in fullscreen on the planet)

     

    Thanks, Andi

     

    P.S.: Also a support operator of Apple asked me this! Haha. I've got a better question: Why do you want the pointer to be there all the time??

    All of my image editors do not hid the cursor in full screen mode. 

     

    Why do you want the pointer to be there all the time?

    It's not a matter of wanting, it's just that I don' care if the cursor is visible.  I just move it out of the way if it's one the image.  I don't get OCD'd over insignificant things like that.

     

    Are you referring to when you're playing a slideshow in Photos?  Or any time you're in full screen mode?

    Why are you being so rude? This is a legit question.

    YOu are two updates behind - the current version is OS X 10.11.6 - it would be good to update as many bugs and security issues have been fixed in those two updates

    Ok I figured it out. I use an app called Cursorcerer to set a key combination to hide the mouse pointer While in full screen mode on HBO GO. While in full screen mode you have to position the cursor at the bottom bar where it says the name of the episode and then do the key combination. I actually set my key combination for Cursorcerer in BetterTouchTool so I can use the track pad to disable the cursor.

     

    Here is the link for Cursorcerer.
