+ *  \brief  A variable controlling whether the hardware cursor stays visible when relative mode is active.
+ *
+ *  This variable can be set to the following values:
+ *    "0"       - The cursor will be hidden while relative mode is active (default)
+ *    "1"       - The cursor will remain visible while relative mode is active
+ *
+ *  Note that for systems without raw hardware inputs, relative mode is implemented using warping, so the hardware cursor will visibly warp between frames if this is enabled on those systems.
