How can I turn off the blue clock display when debugging asynchronous code?

Question

Often when debugging an piece of asynchronous code, it will give me this blue screen on my second monitor with a clock on it. This happens often after I pressed 'Continue' from a breakpoint but sometimes it also turns into a black screen.

Using the Windows button or dragging a window over it removes it but it is still rather annoying. Can I turn this off somewhere?

I don't think you can turn this off. I would assume a unit test project actually starts an app to be able to run the tests. Similar thing was the case with Silverlight unit tests - an app needs to be hosted somewhere to be able to run the code.

Perhaps you could use something like Stardock's ModernMix to make it possible to switch that app to run inside of a window to make it a bit less annoying to you.
