Don't force splash screen and "updating data" dialog box to top

[Iggy22]

Hi,

Newbie to NinjaTrader here and I want to tell you guys that you're doing an amazing job with an excellent product! Thank you.

Here are a couple of simple "clean up" suggestions.

When first starting up NinjaTrader, the splash screen stays on top of all of the other programs I'm running. NT takes a while to load up and in the meantime I'm forced to sit there waiting for that splash screen to get out of my way so I can do other stuff.

Can you set it up so that I can click on another program and do other work while NT continues to load. The splash screen can stay. It has useful info. Just don't force it to the top.

Same thing when I connect to a data feed and historical data is downloaded. A dialog box pops up to tell me that the historical data is loading (and that I can't abort the request, which is fine). But that dialog box sits there on top of everything until the data is loaded (and then it pops up for the next instrument in my profile). Kind of annoying.

Much thanks and know you have a loyal user here!

Best,

- Iggy

Hey NT Team,

Great program, great support - great job.

I concur 100% with Iggy22 re: splash screen and pop up boxes.

Please look into this as it halts all work on your screen.

Thanks!

I agree with the original poster - and please do more than consider this.

I hate it when the splash stops me from logging in on my other platforms (all place their login windows in the center ... where NT splash sits forever). No "always on top" windows, please.

cheers,
