Is your feature request related to a problem?

When you open POB without any characters opened but already logged in to POE from a previous session, the logout from Path of Exile API button is right beside Start. Every now and again, I'll click logout instead of start and be very annoyed.

I think that because the logout button has a bunch of small text on it, it does not register as a logout button to me.

Describe the solution you'd like

I think it would be nice id the button label said just "Logout." And/or if it was further away from "Start."

Research direction

Start by locating the startup screen UI that renders the Start and "logout from Path of Exile API" buttons. Update the layout or label to make logout easier to distinguish, using the provided mockups as guidance, and verify the buttons are no longer easy to misclick when no character is open.
