Disabling the mouse icon

Hello, community.

I’m wondering if there is any way to disable visibility of the mouse icon.
What I’m trying to do is to replace the mouse icon with a loaded image.

Right now I have the image positioned (mouseX,mouseY) and following the mouse
however the look of mouse icon is annoying me.

Any suggestions? Thanks! :oops:

ofHideCursor() should do the trick!

ofHideCursor() worked perfectly!
Thanks so much!

Also, if you would just like to change the cursor but not hide it, check out the glutSetCursor(GLUT_CURSOR_CROSSHAIR); function…

Oh sweet!! Hiding the cursor did the job for this one, but I will definitely try them.
Thanks a lot for the reference.
