[FEATURE REQUEST] Display the Repetier ICON not the Octoprint ICON when USB control is Repetier Server

[gjpc]

Printer model

XL

Describe the feature

Currently when printing models on my XL 5T a smiling cephalopod is prominently displayed on the XL's LCD panel. I would like to see the Repetier tesseract.

Expected functionality

Somewhere in the Prusa firmware there lurks a happy Octopus. The Repetier tesseract should be displayed if Repetier server is controlling the printer.

That is a correct observation. However, we can't possibly have a distinct icon for every piece of software that happens to hijack printer's serial port. Therefore, I propose an alternate solution: I vote for killing the octopus. Only question is what to display instead of it. Part of the problem is that we need some screen to prevent unwanted interactions during the print, like using the Control -> Move Axis menu or filament load/unload.

As for the octopus habitat in the source code, it lives here. This might be useful for people building their own firmware.

Also worth noting, there is an option to disable serial printing screen for expert users (implemented in #4071).

@danopernis Thanks for the quick reply. Alas, the experimental menu is not available unless I want to maintain my own build of the firmware, which I do not. Besides, I would just change the graphic rather than enable the experimental menu in my build. I'll come up with a non-secular graphic to dispose of the cephalopod and submit a PR.

@gjpc Thanks for the effort, but I am afraid I have to consult this with our UX department. I will get in touch with them after new year and hopefully resolve this.

IIRC we've been having some requests to show standard printing screen during serial print, perhaps what would be the way?
