Hi. In the latest alpha build v4.858, the HUD overlay icon and text are not displaying properly. The text would truncate and the icon misaligned. This wasn't the case in earlier versions. Thank you. ![image](https://community.folivora.ai/uploads/default/original/3X/2/1/2131402de341ee909d6f289693a68ff9eb042170.jpeg) ---

ah sorry this is just in the alpha (I had to increase the padding). The next version will go back to the default padding and make it configurable. ---

Awesome! Also, is it possible to add an option to offset the HUD for Position: At Mouse Location, or at least a z-index option so the HUD is over the mouse cursor, not behind it, blocking or covering the icon 🤔 ---

I'll check whether that would be easy to add here. Otherwise the Floating Menus can be used for things like this with many more customization options. ---

4.859 alpha (uploading now) brings back the default padding, also adds: option for x & y offset, z-index and padding ---

I’ve updated BTT and the offset is working perfectly. However, the padding and z-index options are not working. I’ve also tested all window level options and the padding is still the same (no effect) no matter what value I use. For now, I’ll stick with the offset options. Let me know how or if I can help 😊✌ ---

Weird, padding seems to work fine here. Maybe it's a misunderstanding of how it works? It just adds space around the content of the HUD E.g. padding 20: ![image](https://community.folivora.ai/uploads/default/original/3X/1/c/1ccdf9954b783b5ef66063b5a2f3f57f50f5c638.jpeg) Padding 0: ![image](https://community.folivora.ai/uploads/default/original/3X/0/a/0a33e2e40f4e288808d4e1ccf4e896a031c391b7.jpeg) z-Index also seems to work ok here, however even before that it should not have hidden the mouse cursor ---

I see! The padding works OK with texts. I was using the HUD to only display an icon so I didn't see the effect. Sorry about that. I assumed the "window level - maximum float on top" option would elevate the HUD covering the mouse cursor but maybe that's not the case or isn't possible (I was thinking/referencing Swish app's live tooltips & hide cursor options). All good here ✌ ---

Ahh you actually want to hide the mouse cursor? In that case you need to use the "Show/Hide Mouse Cursor" action ![image](https://community.folivora.ai/uploads/default/original/3X/1/4/145c8c4d9d6ba54135326e136d77f5896823125a.jpeg) ---

Yup. Thank you but the goal was: trigger — display HUD (for 1 sec) \> hide cursor at the same time \> after 1 sec, HUD goes away then the cursor comes back. Similar to Swish app's live tooltip/hide cursor options. I think you're suggestion to add the show/hide mouse cursor action only hides the cursor after, and then I have to trigger it again for it to show up. It's really fine lol. I think the offset is better and less complex 🙂 ---

The setup from the screenshot should exactly do what you described ---

Oops I forgot there are two show/hide cursor actions in the screenshot 🤦‍♂️. Lol sorry!
