unclutter-xfixes

About

This is a rewrite of the popular tool unclutter, but using the x11-xfixes extension. This means that this rewrite doesn't use fake windows or pointer grabbing and hence causes less problems with window managers and/or applications.

pacman -S unclutter

unclutter-xfixes is also available in the AUR as unclutter-xfixes-git.

Debian / Ubuntu

apt install unclutter-xfixes

Fedora

dnf install unclutter-xfixes

FreeBSD

unclutter-xfixes is available in the FreeBSD Ports Collection as misc/unclutter-xfixes.
