Disabling the local cursor when using VNC Guacamole

I am using the Guacamole VNC web client viewer and I want to hide the local cursor, because otherwise you see two cursors, and this is confusing.

I can hide the browser mouse with a simple style: cursor: none; But this is not so good, because when any connection exception occurs, I need a browser mouse to close the error window, etc.

Any solution?

You want to hide the remote cursor, not the local one. The VNC protocol allows you to hide the remote cursor. Most VNC clients support this. For example, in noVNC (VNC HTML5 client) there is the option "Local Cursor" to hide the remote cursor so that you see only one cursor.

Misfortune, you cannot do it right now in Guacamole. Guacamole has a long-standing bug to add this support: http://guac-dev.org/trac/ticket/33

Update: The parameter has been fixed in Guacamole.
