v2.3.5
– Possibility of ‘multiple thresholds with color’ for a notification-type.
– X-position of Glance on screen, now possible to set in config-file.

‘Glance’ is an attempt at making a more configurable and less screen occupying ‘notification-and-status utility’, similar to the mods; ‘Inspector’ and ‘LoadStatus’.
The features of ‘Glance’ are:
– By default only visible when the Helpbox is turned off (default key: F1)
– Using columns, which should be easier to read
– Can be dynamically configured …
— … to show only notifications you care about
— … with regards to what font-size and colors you want to use
— … how and which columns should be displayed in sequence
– Will show when a hired-worker has finished
– Displays the vehicle’s location in the world and when within a map designated field-boundary
– Speed of the vehicle, and if it is being blocked by something (like a tree, fence or car)
– Animal husbandry; low productivity, full pallet, eggs available and more…
– Greenhouse placeables; low fill levels.
How to use it
First you must turn off the Helpbox (default key: F1), to be able to see the Glance notifications.
The first time you ever run Glance, it will create a default configuration-file called Glance_Config.XML in the MODS folder.
Due to the modifiable configuration – which maybe for some seem complex and confusing – there will in the support-topic for this mod, later be given instructions and examples on how/what to modify.
The configuration-file will be (re)loaded every time you leave the in-game menu (a.k.a. ESC-menu, ESC-screen.) So it is possible to pause the game, ALT-TAB out of FS15, then edit Glance_Config.XML, ALT-TAB back into FS15 to continue playing and see if the changes for Glance are acceptable.
Switching it on/off
To see notifications from Glance, you have to switch off the Helpbox (default key: F1), and have set a ‘minimum notification level’ that has a lower-or-equal value than the notifications you care about.
To hide Glance, either switch on the Helpbox again, or set the ‘minimum notification level’ to show less (i.e. a value higher than any of the notifications) using the action-key (default: LEFT ALT + L).
If you want to always have Glance visible, disregarding the F1-Helpbox, you need to edit the Glance_Config.XML file, and set the value for ‘ignoreHelpboxVisibility’ to ‘true’. Then also set the ‘positionXY’ value, so Glance won’t overlap the F1-Helpbox.
Controls
The action-keys, which can be changed in the Options – Controls screen, are these by which you can in-game instantly set the ‘minimum notification level’:
LEFT ALT + M = Glance:More Notify – i.e. show more notifications, possibly showing everything.
LEFT ALT + L = Glance:Less Notify – i.e. show less notifications, possibly showing nothing at all.
And just to clarify once again:
F1 = Toggle helpbox off to show Glance (if ignoreHelpboxVisibility=”false” in config-file.)
