    <p>I had this problem using Chromium 11.0.696.65. I was able to solve it with a little delayed JavaScript.</p> <p>I was trying to make an electronic sign consisting of a large LCD monitor driven by a small diskless industrial computer running Chromium on Ubuntu. On start up, it runs something like:</p> <pre><code>chromium-browser --kiosk 'http://server:4662/1920x1080/status.html?id=42' </code></pre> <p>The downloaded page has an XHR polling loop which receives a JavaScript object literal whenever anything changes relating to <code>id=42</code>, at which time, it updates the display appropriately. There is CSS specifying all elements should have a blank mouse pointer.</p> <p>Problem was, Chrome's request-in-progress mouse pointer was left sitting on the screen. It disappeared as soon as a I moved the mouse. However, the real sign won't have a mouse attached, much less a user to move it.</p> <p>I added the following script:</p> <pre><code>function $(id) {return document.getElementById(id);} function onLoad() { window.setTimeout(hideCursor, 1000); function hideCursor() { $('content').style.cursor = 'url(/blankCursor.gif),auto'; } } window.onload = onLoad; </code></pre> <p>Now, the annoying cursor shows up briefly on startup, but vanishes in a second. Then the sign runs cursorless until the next startup (days or weeks).</p> <p>BTW, the <code>,auto</code> appears to be another Chromium bug. I found if I just put <code>url(/blankCursor.gif)</code>, it won't honor the declaration.</p>
