How to turn off 'fact' overlay...

There seems to be a new addition to the program that I can't say I'm a fan of with the 'fact' overlay text that comes in (quite regularly).

If you do intend on keeping it at least let us turn them off...and if you can turn them off, how do you do so?

The most recent update on both nextversion and the default branch should now have an option to turn off the tips :)

Yeah, the unexpected pop-up tips almost ruined a recent recording session. :p
But I'm glad there's an option to turn them off. :)

We've been faced so often with people bumping into problems that are in fact are totally tweak-able from the settings (but many just don't know about those settings), so it is frustrating .

Thus we have decided to have a tips system that will teach folks about stuff that is not obvious. In doing so, in our fervor, we have made sure the system gives you many many many tips. But by doing that we have created a brand new "problem that is totally tweak-able
from the settings" :D

I'm sure there's a life lesson in there somewhere :)

At any rate, we'll probably modify the tips system so that it stops after a number of tips, on each FaceRig session ( one two or maybe three) . Otherwise everyone will just turn it off forever :)

I would put them on by default, only two or three at most per session, make sure they aren't in any feeds that go out, if this is possible. But have it on the first general tab in the options to turn them completely off.

I realise some may need to be given tips, as long as they are actually tips. But a lot of the tips at the moment are a bit nonsensical...I'm hoping this is just placeholders? It's cute and all, as long as you are under 10 perhaps :) I don't really need to know the marine has killer eyes :) I do need to know that the sensitivity can be adjusted at the cost of accuracy though.

Perhaps you could have a thread dedicated to peoples opinions on what the tips should hold?

Most of the Tips I have recieved aren't facts on how to use the program, they are random facts about some of the avatars. Worst of all, there literally is NO option in the current version to disable these tips. I been through every page and you have removed it. It's like you want to stop people using your software for its intended purpose, why?!

Just add an option to the menu and if people have problems, help them solve them or make an FAQ that people can refer to.
