Summary0028849: Suggestion - Revise the handbook notifications
DescriptionDescription:
Currently the player is forced to interact with the handbook notifications which will result in them opening the handbook. Player can close the handbook only by: pressing the hotkey (H by default), Pressing the X button in the top right corner of the window, or pressing Escape, neither of which is very comfortable.
Because handbook covers notifications and a significant amount of the screen, this causes a lot of friction in the notifications flow ultimately frustrating the player.

Suggestions:
- Let the players close the handbook by clicking outside of the handbook window
- Add an explanation in the handbook tooltip explaining the functionality behind Left and Right clicks
TagsNo tags attached.

Thanks!

* All of the various toast entries now do something on left-click, and are canceled via right-click.
** A lot of people were very confused by having some things outright disappear when left-clicked. In the cases where that was happening, it was because there's no extra information to share. However, it's deeply confusing when that happens, so now it does a related thing instead.

* When left-clicking handbook entries, it now pops up a dark arrow plate with the handbook entry itself directly next to the handbook screen.
** It also marks it as read already. Clicking out of the handbook screen in any way thus closes both this singular entry as well as other entries.
** You can also specifically click this handbook plate to just close it, and keep the rest of the handbook screen open.

* The handbook screen in general now darkens the entire rest of the screen while it is open.
** Clicking anywhere in that darkened area, with left or right click, closes the handbook screen.
