[OS X] re-added mouse "hiding" for OS X, trying to avoid triggering corners

Thank you very much, Sir

Thanks!

PS. Noticed that v1.6.2 doesn't go full screen automatically (I need to press ESC on the keyboard) when used with Instant Sheller.

Thanks!

FYI, I've noticed an issue when switching from Fullscreen/Fill Screen/Windowed mode in Windows - it seems nothing from the layout is redrawn, although if you press ESC you can see the exit message - even that appears to be at the wrong resolution to not fit on the screen.

If anyone else can confirm this, we'll need to submit an issue.

I can confirm that I'm having the same (or similar) problem with OSX. After change from FILL to WINDOW and in oposite direction - I'm getting blank (black) screen. If I switch back and forth to another theme, everything is ok.

This sounds like it is related to the issue I reported here
https://github.com/mickelson/attract/issues/164

Try launching attract mode from the command-line:
create a shortcut to attract mode, call it "start attract mode"
right click on it -> properties, then change "target" to "C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /C Attract.exe"
and "start in" to your attract mode folder path, for me it was "P:\Attract Mode"

Launch Attract mode by double clicking the shortcut.

thank you it works  !   

I just put a batch file in the AM folder 

--------
@echo off
start "" attract.exe
--------

I'm having the same issue.  Very strange as I got a shortcut to run correctly once, but now can't seem to get it to run altirra correctly.  1.60 works fine.  Hope this can be fixed with next version.
