Mouse pointer disappears in full screen video/mp3 playback

Post by Ikiam »

Hello, I love this tool, very complete, so much so that although video and mp3 playback is not its strong point, I have it configured so that by default it opens and plays videos and this is where the problem appears, the mouse pointer is hidden when playing video/mp3 in full screen.

This is a problem for me, since it is very useful to be able to pause the video/mp3 or fast forward/rewind its playback by manipulating the buttons at the bottom or the video/mp3 playback bar.

Once this happens, (a video/mp3 is played in full screen) the cursor pointer is completely hidden for all types of files in full screen, even images, and the only way to see the mouse pointer on the full screen again (even for images) is to close and reopen xnview Again.

Sorry for my bad English, I hope I have made myself understood, can this be solved with a simple configuration that I may be skipping?

When you play a video/audio, mouse is shown. You have not that? Windows?

'Settings>Fullscreen>hide mouse cursor'

Hi,

'Settings Fullscreen hide mouse cursor',
This feature is disabled;

The mouse pointer is visible when:
- View and play images, videos, audios that are not in full screen
- View images in Full Screen.

Mouse pointer is not visible:
- During and After playing a video/audio in full screen, I mean, it only hides when I am in full screen and only with the videos and audios, BUT, after it is hidden by this action, it permanently hides in full screen even in image viewing.

The mouse pointer is visible again in full screen again when I completely close XNVIEW, as long as I don't play videos/audios in full screen.

I have Windows 10 64bit.

To be honest, I just tried XnView on Windows 11 and it worked without a problem. I have done some things to make it work well. I reinstalled xnview with the factory settings but the problem persists
:(

Thanks, I guess it's a problem with my laptop, although I make sure to keep it clean and updated, anyway, thanks, excellent program :)
