Quick flip out of container

I posted about getting started with this yesterday:

• Enhanced flip out of container — November 22, 2024

I have now implemented a button in the centre of the screen in the container. The button has a small help button alongside. Snapshot showing the button and help window:

After taking that snapshot, I lightened the background colour a bit, and added text that when flip back into the container, the clipboard is copied in.

Perhaps that button can be made more pretty; right now it can be described as "utilitarian". Does the job, you definitely know you are in a container. Click on it and half a second later you are back on the main desktop.

Here are the relevant github commits:

Note: looking around on the forum, I see that the FatDog guys have implemented a mechanism for running FatDog in a container, with clipboard transfer, here. They did that back in 2021.
