Hello Kaustubh,

I think that's a very bad idea...

A user will be very frustrated/confused if he moves the mouse but doesn't see the pointer on the screen (or only for a short moment).
Better catch the mouse clicks with an event structure and deicde what to do with them...
Best regards,
GerdW

I have to second GerdW's comment.

In my experience, users will wait about ten seconds after wiggling the mouse to see the cursor.

After that a "ctrl-alt-delete" is attempted.

Maybe changing the mouse icon could serve your needs.
