The Problem
There are a number of situations where if you place your mouse over an on screen item (for example, a skill in the skill menu) further information about that item comes up (in this case, the experience information pertaining to that skill).

Whilst it's good to have this information readily at hand, sometimes you just want to see the information without having to mouseover the item - particularly when this information changes over time.

The Solution
Add a new box area, similar to the XP tracker / buff timers, that can store a limited number of mouseover information from everything that has mouseover information, and can be displayed on the main interface at all times. Players should be able to choose which information they wish to track in this box.

Examples of Usage
- When Runecrafting, you can mouseover each pouch to check that essence filled each correctly. If this information was available on screen, it would save time having to mouseover each pouch to check you didn't make a mistake.

- When training Divination in the Hall of Memories, you can mouseover the Memory-storage bot to see how full it is of each energy. Having this on screen will help keep track of where you need to collect from without having to mouseover. As the energy changes location every 22 seconds or so, the seconds it takes to mouseover for each change soon mounts up.

- When training any skill, it's good to be able to see your actual XP increasing live. This isn't captured in the current XP tracker as it only tracks XP gain from the last time it was reset.

Incomplete List of Items with Changing Mouseover Text
- Runecrafting Pouches
- Memory-storage bot (Hall of Memories)
- Memory jar (Hall of Memories)
- Skills in skill menu
- Loot bag (Safecracking)
- Urns
- Ore Box
- Tackle Box
- Soil Box
- Herb Bag
- Augmented Items
- XP Capacitor
- Partially Smithed items

Absolute support!

It's already possible to do this with the xp tracker by closing the skills tab through a keybind (as long as the skills window has been opened via the ribbon earlier in your game session) when you hold your mouse over the desired skill.

It's currently just a convenient non-gamebreaking bug, and opening the skills window or hovering over the skills window of someone you examine closes it again.

So my account got hacked twice and they changed a bunch of settings (setting up the authenticator seems to have kept them out so far). Now my Mouseover text doesn't work... I'd really like it back. I don't like the text at the top left (and it doesn't give as much information). The check box under the settings for Mouseover text doesn't seem to do anything now...

I'm wondering if whoever did hack me used a mobile account (as I read somewhere those don't use the mouseover text) and if that might have something to do with it... I wish Jagex had an ACTUAL support system. Someone help please!

Not really the place to ask help for this, but here you go:
Go to settings > Gameplay tab > Interfaces (on the left) > Game Interaction (right below the previous) > Tick the box of the first option 'Mouseover text'.
At the same place, a bit lower untick the box 'Upper-left hover text'.
