PC Blinking Journal Icon (anyway to turn it off)

[Gamida]

Could there be an option to turn off the blinking journal icon in the game. I have played enough now that I don't really need to read them anymore but having to constantly go and click on them to stop it is getting a little annoying for me.

I know it is still useful for newer players and I even mention it sometimes when watching new players on Twitch but for me, I need to be able to just turn the damn thing off.

I got you:



It's crude, but effective. You can still click on the icon's location to bring up the journal.

In file windows.xml, change this:

  <button pos="476,-21" name="Journal" sprite="ui_game_symbol_pen" tooltip_key="xuiJournal" style="press, hover, paging.window.icon" />

to this:

  <button pos="476,-21" name="Journal" sprite="" tooltip_key="xuiJournal" style="press, hover, paging.window.icon" />

>poof< it's invisible.

Had a look and couldn't find it. Maybe it has been changed in 20.5

EDIT: NVM, found it was searching for <button pos="476,-21" name="Journal" sprite but for some reason it couldn't find it. Shortened it to just "Journal" and it worked...thanks again

That's because we have to work on Boidster's customer service skills. 

I bet you would have found it if he said:

Look here

window name="windowPagingHeader"

change:

  <button pos="476,-21" name="Journal" sprite="ui_game_symbol_pen" tooltip_key="xuiJournal" style="press, hover, paging.window.icon" />

to this:

  <button pos="476,-21" name="Journal" sprite="" tooltip_key="xuiJournal" style="press, hover, paging.window.icon" />

I go a slightly different route and  try to post snippets of the code to help the person find it

    <window name="windowPagingHeader" controller="WindowSelector" style="paging.window" cursor_area="true">

        <button pos="476,-21" name="Journal"   sprite="ui_game_symbol_pen"       tooltip_key="xuiJournal"   style="press, hover, paging.window.icon" />

    </window>
