Is it possible to disable the trial reminder popup in the Designer? It gets in the way while working on some projects.

I agree, I like the red text telling you the trial expired, but the popup just gets in the way.

Not sure if there is a better way, but from the script console, I was able to hide the popup using this:

from java.awt import Dimension, Window
for window in Window.getWindows():
	if window.visible and window.__class__.__name__ == 'ResizableWindow':
		window.size = Dimension(0, 0)

Disposing of the window or setting its visibility to false only works for a second, and then, the popup comes back. I'm using Ignition 8.1.44

I also feel it anoying. In windows, when having the taskbar in hide-auto mode, it shows up.

Does this affect any other windows that we may use during development?

Update:
Well, I like it!

I like the popup showing up when the trial expires, but I feel it should disappear after 10-20 seconds or so. The red text does just as well at announcing it. Perhaps just show the popup on hover of the text?

No, It won't affect any designer popup that's not visible when the script is ran, but if there were any doubts, the action can be instantly undone by rerunning the script using a dimension with a width and height larger than zero.

Agreed. It should probably just be put into the normal popup heavyweight window class the tool tips and right click actions use.
