Bug Description

A user would like to "Blank to Desktop." However, when selecting this button, even though the desktop is projected, the Live window shows no indication of this. If a song is being projected live at the time that you select "Blank to Desktop," the chorus is still displayed in Live window even though the desktop is projected as desired.

This can cause confusion to the operator if the computer is not located so that he has a clear view of the screen on the wall; the only indicator that he has is a slight change in the button appearance that is not too helpful.

Either the desktop needs to be displayed in the Live window when "Blank to Desktop" is enabled, or a red diagonal line should be drawn through the Live window. This would be a great help!

This is even more confusing when using the "Escape item"
since there is no visual difference at all in the UI.
Based on OpenLP UI, it is impossible to know if the item is live or not.
