Also very interested in this. I have seen plenty of these over the years but …. “Removing the CRT overspray”?? What on earth is that about?

This video shows the approach I described above. (HyperCard 1.2.5 running in Mini vMac emulating a Mac Plus running 6.0.8)

I am guessing (again haven’t tried) that HyperCard follows the Mac UI guidelines and calls ObscureCursor when you start typing in a text field. If so, this will automatically hide the cursor and re-show it when the mouse is moved. No coding necessary.

I haven’t tried this but bet it would work: Add a transparent field (textbox) to the card. Position the mouse cursor over the field. Click in the field. Press space (you could press any key, but space won’t obscure your image). Does HyperCard hide the cursor?

@JDW back to original topic did you find a working solution for full-screen image display on a 9” Mac? If not - what file format exactly do you need supported? You mentioned TIFF but not sure if that was a requirement.

I’m planning to check it out since it’s 30 minutes from me. It would be my first vintage computer fair/event of any kind, ever. What exactly does one do at these things? You should swing by @Kai Robinson, there are tons of nonstops into O’Hare. :) Also, this is my first ever post on this...
