Please send PrusaControls Z order dominating splashscreen back to the 90' where it belongs 😉

This is for the PrusaControl dev team... on the next build please address the complete Z order dominance (Always On Top) that your splash screen exercises.

It is not the fastest app launch in the forrest, which is ok, but it does get a bit annoying that the splash screen takes up and locks down the prime monitor realestate for 10 - 30 sec on app launch.

Know why make such a fuss about 10-30 lost screen time?... well its not the screen time that is acutally the primary reason why splashscreens are not that cool, this is:

Now the error itself is not PrusaControls fault.. it was a full disk that halted the launch.. but the fact that i didnt get the error message in my face is a problem that can be completely avoided by accepting that your splash screen is not the most importent information in the screen Z order world. (The Splash Screen is even in front of the task manager... Now you can get to the error message by doing some window dancing but i wouldnt expect a standard windows user to have these skills)

To those who dont follow what im talking about... the Fatal Error! message pop up window is behind the splashscreen and never gets shown. The Splash screen load bar just stays put on and never gets anywhere.

I love PrusaControl and use it 99% of my slicing time instead of SlicerPE ... its just so much easier and the default profiles available just works.. Great job! ... just kill or neuter the splash screen Always On Top trip 🙂

Given the last update at the end of this thread, I wouldn't expect any changes to PC.
