Hi forum,

Does anybody know how to remove these two rubbish things in 22H2? Why should the Focus play (start) button be there? Why should the Blank notification banner be there?! I never use Focus or Don't Disturb functions.

Did you have doubts ?!:nope: They are genius. My/Your brain isn't in their brain's class!
I have disabled ST "Banner" notification but enabled the "Action Centre" notification. I am thinking about disabling all ST notifications, cause "Automatically copy to Clipboard" is enabled in ST. How about that... :think:

If you don't want notifications from the snipping tool just go to system -> notifications and turn them off for that app. Or for any app where you don't want them.

I realize that but, that's not my point.

The point is, you're in the middle of a screen capture process that is knowingly copied to the Clipboard. At some point you're going to finish that task. There is no need for a notification thereof!

Yes! Photoshop never had "Marker". You have to make a "Shape" layer>resize and place it on top of your "Text" layer>change its blending mode (almost always) to "Multiply". See Ps isn't smart enough like ST. In ST just pick a desired marker and highlight yor text. :thumbsup:

i ended up just didabling that whole mess using one of the tutorials on this site and i also hide the focus settings page so its gone completely. yes you loose the calender that way but IMO its better than having that ugly notifcations box and focus junk.
