Screen Message

Post by chellea »

Instead of just blanking out the screen on the other end, how about a blank screen with the option of a customizable message. For instance, I would like to block my remote locations from seeing what I am doing, but I want them to know I'm there, so I might want a message that states 'Remote support in progress, please wait...'.

It has always been like that, since alpha blending can be used for blanking.

Forgotten option .. :D
