Hi, is there an option to hide this popup?

The app now shows the percentage relative to the source in the middle of the PIP window during resize. With free aspect ratio it displays the percentage in an X%xY% format.

I move/resize the PIP window quite often and the popup is distracting/unneeded for myself.

You can't disable it right now but can add an option for it.

I added an option but it has no UI right now as I am not exactly sure where should I put it and how often used it would be. :)

You'll need to enter this in Terminal:

defaults write pro.betterdisplay.BetterDisplay pipShowResizePercent NO

This will be in the next internal pre-release (you can enable it under Settings/Application/Updates).

Wow that was quick! Thank you!

If it helps my intuition was to originally go look in BetterDisplay's settings and then the "Application" tab, I thought there would be a global PiP options panel there, just as a suggestion.

Yes, it should either go there or maybe I should rename the "Menu" pane to "Appearance" and add all kinds of general appearance stuff there, including this one.

There are some other hidden settings like these, I will probably add an UI to them when I do some reorganization.

(the internal pre-release is now available via auto-update)
