How do I change how fast the cursor hides on VLC in full screen mode?

Question

When playing videos in full screen mode on VLC, I find that the mouse takes too long to hide (the control panel hides quickly enough, but the mouse lingers around for much longer).

How do i control how fast the cursor hides?

thanks

You can change this, its just buried in VLC's hundreds of configuration options. Open up the VLC preferences dialog (Tools->Preferences) then:

1. Click on the Show All radio button in the bottom left corner.
2. Select the "Video" category.
3. Update the "Hide cursor and fullscreen controller after x milliseconds" value to the desired timeout.
