Different background colours on Main Hideaway Screen

Mon Aug 19, 2019 2:39 pm

Hi guys, how difficult is it to have a different background colour when HideAway is On or Off, e.g. a shade of light red for when one first opens the program & a light shade of green when it's actually connected? I run HideAway from my taskbar (bottom of screen) but can't tell if I'm connected or not without actually bringing the program up onto my screen! I can't distinguish the word "Connected" when viewed via the task bar!

Restart HideAway and you'll see it shows when connected in the Taskbar and System Tray

Thanks guys - excellent outcome, the green dot which now appears (only) when connected is even a simpler & more effective way than my original suggestion - keep up the good work.
