I'm pretty sure the setting is available on macOS. Thanks!

Because much of the user interface is "not applicable" if there is no source loaded, the GUI will always ask to open a source. That is not configurable.

What I do is use an AutoIt script to open HB. What is does is:
1. Open HB and close "Source Selection."
2. Move HB to my preferred screen position.
3. Open the Queue Window and move it to my desired screen position.

How do I get this AutoIt script?
This forced Source Selection overlay is ridiculous.
