[BUG-13815] After Ignition upgrade to 8.0, windows are loaded with tags in error state

Ignition
8

It works quite nicely now, I did small changes to code:

Now there are two client tags DisableOverlays boolean and OverlayDisabledUntilTS DateTime

DisableOverlays has Expression:

try(
   now() < {[Client]OverlayDisabledUntilTS}
,0)

Tag Event Value Changed:
system.tag.setOverlaysEnabled(not bool(currentValue.value))

And when I load any window, I use code:
system.tag.write('[Client]OverlayDisabledUntilTS', system.date.addMillis(system.date.now(), 1500))

This adds the support of changing the estimated load time of each window, based on their complexity. To make it bit nicer, I would also wrap the tag write call to some project library, so the complexity is hidden in normal use.

Thanks @pturmel and @Paullys50!
