Video overlay on top of main window on single screen

Hey Mike!

I'm currently using SCS on a Gigabyte Brix as a simple video playback machine (in non-linear mode) for a very remote (150m) screen. Control from lighting software (ETC EOS Nomad) via UDP strings works fine. However it is a little annoying to always have a second display (or EDID Manager) connected next to the projector.

Is there a way to implement an option where SCS will start on only one screen with the video overlay on top of it on the very same screen (and possibly a set of keyboard shortcuts to open and close the overlay to access the application; oh, and mouse suppressing) without requiring a second screen? In the end I'd like to put SCS into autostart, just having to start the PC and send the control commands. I'm not looking into the massive features of a video server system like Daton's Watchout or Wings, just a simple way to use SCS as a remote playback engine.

Would be a great feature!

Cheers,
Felix
