## Description

Some tools implement inactivity detection which some users might like to circumvent. This extension only hovers header elements such that it goes unnoticed by the user. The original MouseVader addon leads to dashboard elements being hovered which is not acceptable. We see this addon as an improvement of the original addon with a slightly more specific usecase: dashboards.
