Yes, I am referring to the First Connection Warning window. I didn't know the exact terminology, thanks!

Ideally it wouldn't be displayed at all to support operators. Afterall, it is obvious to someone connecting remotely with Remote Utilities Viewer that Remote Utilities has been installed!

However, if that isn't possible, having the ability to move the window around would work as an alternative! Thanks!

Here is my use case:

I run a homelab spread across two physical locations. My home, and my parents home. I am running my own self-hosted RU Server because I like to homelab and tinker, I also like to be in control of my software.

I don't always have physical access to the machines at my parents home, so it's sometimes difficult to get the Host Notification message dismissed. It also gets in the way of the tray icons and options sometimes since it's set to "display on top" of all other windows and cannot be moved.

I understand the need to have a Host Notification message, especially on free licenses, in order to discourage malicious use by scammers and the like.

With all of this in mind: Would it be possible to hide the Host Notification message on remote sessions, or allow us to MOVE the Host Notification window around? It should be possible to make it always "jump" into the viewport if someone tries to move it off-screen. This will keep it in view of the local user, but prevent it from becoming a hinderance to actual support workers.

Thanks for the consideration on this feature change!

Has there been any progress on this? I switched to Remote Utilities Self-Hosted from the Free  [censored] Control license because it allowed for more remote connections and I didn't need to rely on a third-parties infrastructure for my own personal/home/homelab remote access.

Having the ability to use forward/back buttons on a mouse as they would work natively on remove PCs seems like a fairly common feature. I use those buttons all the time in my day-to-day use of a PC.
