**Additional context**
If I'm not mistaken, this is done with a Virtual Display driver. I looked into it and can't seem to wrap my head around it fully yet. If I end up having a eureka moment, ill add it.
Or if anyone can point me in the right direction

Iv added a Connection Banner. still need to finish some things up before I publish.
Also not sure if it's implemented correctly. However, it gets the job done. so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the client monitor and display-handling code, then review how the existing connection banner was added. Done should mean a client-side option reliably blacks out the monitored display while remote control remains available.
