Sometimes a message appear on the screen informing something, be it that our antenna just got ripped-off by aeroforces, SAS disabled for lack of electric charge...anything. Mods add some more, life support supplies running low, orbital construction finished, rover arrived. But what exactly was the last one? As a felow player puts it: We need the One Window Notification Display (OWND) One Window to rule them all, One Window to find them, One Window to bring them all and in the readable log bind them The idea is as follows (excuse-me if Im going a bit wild, just brainstorming) : Messages got displayed in OWND, either because somehow the mod can intercept the messages ment to be displayed on screen or because other mods are coded in such way to send the notification to OWND (when present) instead of the usual 'appear briefly on screen and vanish before the player can read' Each message may have a timestamp and a tag to help identify it, or maybe even filter when loooking for a particular kind of message. (e.g. y2d1004h30:12 [LS] Untitled Space Craf in orbit of Duna have only 3d left of supplies) Messages will be displayed and keep (in a kind of stack/list, I suppose) and the player can chose to delete/copy or just let it there. Maybe some messages can also be used to trigger an action (e.g. open a part context menu, Switch/focus to a vessel/celestial body; open a plugin). Just to clarify, the idea is to OWND be primarily a way for the player to read the messages that he missed because he was busy with something else or not paying atention. Any extra functionality is a bonus, not the core of the idea. I don't have the skill to make it a reality, what I have to offer is that idea and my gratitude.
