    • right-click it to set it to 0:00 and hide it again

  • requires the inventory pixel-check to be set up correctly in the screen-checks section of the settings menu

  • accessing websites this way will also copy relevant item-information into the clipboard and have it ready for pasting

    • vilsol's timeless jewel calculator: the necessary information will be copied and filled in automatically

    • chromatics calculator: socket and attribute information will be copied and filled in automatically


Lab-layout overlay and tracker

Features:

  • overlays an image of the lab-layout onto the client

  • optional: tracks your current position and marks visited/completed rooms


Setup:

  • open the minor qol tools section of the settings menu and enable the feature

  • this feature is accessible in two ways:

    • hold TAB while you are in the Aspirants' Plaza, then click the small icon in the top-left corner of the overlay

Usage:

  • if the compass-file was imported, colored squares will be placed on the overlay as you progress through the lab
    image

    • the purple square shows your current location, the green ones show the rooms you have previously entered

    • the overlay also shows abbreviations of the neighboring rooms, which may be helpful in specific, obscure layouts

  • the small icon in the top-left corner of the overlay changes its color depending on which features are available

    • red: neither image- nor compass-file have been imported, or the imported data is outdated

    • yellow: only the image-file has been imported, tracking is unavailable

    • green: both image and tracking are available


Potential Tracking Issues:

  • hovering over rooms shows a tooltip with its name (highlighted in green if it's the same type of room you're currently in)
    image

    • in case the purple marker is placed on an incorrect room, you can long-click a room with green name to place the purple marker there instead
  • once you enter an Aspirant's Trial, backwards movement to earlier rooms will no longer be tracked

  • if you have to restart the script mid-run for whatever reason, tracking will be reset and the purple marker will be placed onto the earliest room with the same name as the one you're currently in

    • if it's not the correct room, manually place the purple marker onto the correct one

Notepad and Text-widgets

Features:

  • notepad window specifically for PoE notes

  • allows creating individual tabs to better sort notes

  • allows creating free-floating text-widgets that function like sticky-notes on your screen


Setup:

  • open the minor qol tools section of the settings menu and enable the feature: this toggle button image will appear in the main toolbar

Usage:

  • click the toggle button to open the notepad

  • the notepad has individual tabs that need to be created first, so type in a name and press enter

  • the size of the window always auto-adjusts to its content but can also be increased manually by dragging the bottom-right corner

    • it doesn't refresh/resize while typing: instead, you have to click a tab to refresh the whole window
  • type in some text, then open the settings menu to change the font-size until you find the right size

  • as long as the text in a tab is not blank, you can drag the tab out of the window to create a free-floating text-widget

    • by default, these are inactive (unclickable) and TAB needs to be held down to activate them

    • once activated, they can be dragged again, or right-clicked to be removed

    • while a widget is on screen, you can adjust color and opacity settings to your liking

  • you can color-code individual text strings for widgets by highlighting/selecting text and right-clicking it

    • the color palette will open, and selecting a color will paste the RGB-code into the text
