Option to hide the banner

[hapklaar]

Hi @teeminus

The NoTouchFw v1.3.1 banner looks a bit strange on my TFT35B1. (It's compiled in normal mode, I don't like the stretched out Full Screen look.)

• Is it some kind of display corruption, like I'm experiencing more often during printing? (Screen will always get garbled after a while. #47)
• Is it possible to hide the banner or make an option to do so?

Edit: found out the 'corruption' is actually the SPI_DATA_RECEIVED_INDICATOR I enabled in features.h. Doesn't seem to show well on my display for some reason. I guess it should look like a dot?

The spi activity indicator is working as intended. For each byte received a pixel on the left and right side of the top label is drawn/cleared. As the data is received in blobs one usually does not notice a single pixel of the indicator been drawn/cleared rather than complete lines of the indicator change.

This feature is for debugging purposes only, it is not required for normal operation.

Got it. Is it possible to hide the banner or make an option to do so?

It sure is. However, hiding the header makes debugging more complicated. Even when the spi status indicator is not enabled, the header contains valuable information I can use to figure out what might be going wrong.

So adding an option to remove the header would make debugging for those builds more complicated.

It might sound a bit harsh (which is not intentional) but if you really don't like the header, you can easily remove it in your fork.
