Have overlays disappear when sim is not running #12

First of all, thank you for this app! Very useful in my iRacing, along with iOverlay.

One thing iOverlay does that I really appreciate is that it hides the overlays when iRacing is not actively running a driving session. This allows me to keep iOverlay running all the time, knowing that the overlays will only show up on my screen when I need them.

SharpOverlay's spotter bars work like this, in the sense that they will not show up on the screen unless I am driving in the sim and a car is next to me. But the Input Graph overlay is there as a grey box (by default), on my screen, even when I am not in a driving session and even when iRacing is completely closed. It would be great if it was hidden when not in a driving session, so I can keep SharpOverlay running and have it show me the overlays when I need them. Thanks!

Hey, I'll implement this in the next release (though I'm not sure when that will be as I've been quite busy lately).

For the meantime you can achieve this using iRacing Manager (https://members.iracing.com/jforum/posts/list/3633292.page), it will automatically open and close your selected apps when you enter a driving session.
