Description

@johnnynunez

Proposal

When I run a demo with newton backend is showing physx on the screen. This can be confusing for non-technnical people, beginners or general public if we show a visual demo.
If you look on terminal or logs, of course, it us running newton backend.

Motivation

Clarify what backend it is executing. This is useful for showcase demos.

Checklist
