How to Stop Stars From Staying on Items Forever

A common annoyance is picking up an item once and having its star linger for a long time, making it hard to tell what is actually new. The mod provides two independent ways to clear markers automatically, and you can combine them.

Clearing markers when you close the inventory

In the config file, enable the option that removes new-item markers when the inventory is closed. With this on, any star still showing disappears as soon as you exit the inventory screen. This is ideal if you only need the highlight during the session where you gathered the items.

Clearing markers when you hover over them

Alternatively, enable the option that removes a marker when you hover over that item. As soon as your cursor passes over a highlighted slot, its star vanishes, letting you acknowledge items one by one. This is useful when sorting a large haul, because you can sweep across the inventory and watch markers clear as you confirm each item.

Turning on both gives the most aggressive cleanup: hovering clears individual items, and closing the inventory wipes whatever remains. Save the config and restart the game. If markers persist, verify the options are set correctly and that you are editing the config used by the instance you are actually playing.
