How to hide the mouse pointer on local display

[superpat]

Hi,

I have had a look round, but I cannot find a Moode solution

I am displaying Moode gui on a local Pi official display, works fine apart from  the mouse pointer is still on screen. following the touch position, which is annoying. I would like to remove  or hide it.

In the past on other systems I have hidden it with "unclutter".

What is the correct way to remove the mouse pointer in Moode?

many thanks
