Add Option to Enable/Disable Screen Capture (#1418)
Veracrypt currently appears in screenshots and screen captures, which can unintentionally expose sensitive information, such as the fact that Veracrypt is running or the location of your volumes. Both Windows and macOS offer mechanisms to exclude specific windows from being captured. While not foolproof, this is a useful preventative measure. The method is a no-op for Linux/FreeBSD. For more details on the wxWidgets API, see: https://docs.wxwidgets.org/3.2/classwx_top_level_window.html#a337b9cec62b0cbd3b1b1545a83270f64
