Watching-only Notification on Wallet Open
I use a watching-only wallet on my desktop and always get a notification/popup telling me it's a watching-only wallet every time I open Electrum. It's a mild inconvenience, but it would be nice to have an option to disable this.
I understand if you want to make sure the user knows what is going on, but personally it would be nice to have the option to disable these messages, or at least have the option to only display them when the wallet is first imported/opened.
This has also annoyed me a little bit for a while.
I maybe thought of a "Do not show this message again" checkbox. And then maybe add a "Enable all popup messages" option in settings.
I removed the warning by commenting out the line 205 on gui/qt/__init__.py
(v3.3.3). But an option is definitely required.
I'm annoyed by the contrary on the Android version: you cannot tell it's a watchonly, it doesn't even hide the "send" button

You can tell it's watch-only, although it's a bit hidden, in the Wallet Details page.
The Send button is not hidden, because with a watch-only wallet, you can still prepare a transaction for signing by the corresponding non-watch-only wallet.
I figured about the transaction preparation but then maybe the "Send" button text should be replace with a "Prepare transaction" text or something
