      I’m not a user of this software, but reading the ticket I know I’d be annoyed too. I was when Windows 11 changed task bar behavior to worse.

      • It dumped and animated icon in my panel in the primary position where my most used launcher normally is
      • There was no clear way to remove this intrusion into my workflow - the context menu item of “Donation options” was not something that appeared to give me that option

      From that, seems like it was a disruptive donation button rather than an informational side thing.

      They opened the ticket with thanks and appreciation, and made respectful factual arguments. Far from “whining incessantly”.

        100 % agree. I don’t mind developers asking for donations, but this seemed too intrusive. Especially with the 20-second timeout to dismiss it. The developer also seemed to have a bit of an attitude in their response.

        The initial user yes, but read the rest of the comments. There are a few friendly ones voicing real concerns, but the majority I’d definitely not place in the “nice” or “constructive” category.
