Thanks again Chris.
I will try to take a look at #2 today after work and see if I can provide any feedback at all.
I appreciate the tips on the handler and stylesheet, would have been quite some time before I ever arrived at either of those.

Messed around with this a bit this evening, I'm not sure I have a preference either way in code builder set detail message vs preferences file set. I suppose it might be nice to allow the end user an easy way to change it, so as is would probably fine. As another idea, perhaps if the coder set it to something important, then that takes precedent over any user set message, or, maybe better, it gets added to it?
Otherwise, I think if the user or the coder took the time to put a detailed message there, then it should probably display by default. I would be in favor as it defaulting to open I think.
Also, the handler and stylesheet stuff works great, with some updates/notes below in case anyone else is following along:
1. There was a typo or two in the example I left in my code asking how to get it to work which appears to have carried through, so a working handler code example is as follows:
It's worth nothing that for the handler, all values for rgba are 0-255 (as Chris' comment notes), including alpha (which is not true for when these are set via stylesheet). Alpha is generally a percentage on most website color wheel examples, so just multiplying the percentage by 255 should do the trick (both of these examples set alpha to 75%)
2. Similarly, a stylesheet example is as follows:
For stylesheet, alpha can be expressed as percentage "75%" or the decimal equivalent "0.75". Both seem to work fine.
I also wanted to pass along this handy website I found for easily figuring out colors:
cssgenerator.org/rgba-and-hex-color-generator.html
Just note that the value next to the slider sometimes updates and sometimes has a snooze. The middle value "RGBA" would be the one you'd want as it's always awake.

currently it's read and saved to the preference file. but maybe it should not be and be available for the screen builder to add last minute info for a user that is closing the app. I could also force the extra info box open at the same time.

I dont mean to be pedantic, but I still wonder if there is a way to solve the below issue. I am not sure what it actually stems from, but it's gotten worse since I've added "-m" to the qtvcp call in the ini file (qtvcp -m qtplasmac).
I do notice that if I click "No" and then go to shut down again, the overlay is correct.
As a clunky work-around, could it do it twice quickly? I know that seems ridiculous, but it's all I could come up with lol
