ALT-leftclick to select, then alt-rightclick (or rightclick) to delete or configure. For more info search for "info-window" or "information window".

good one,thanx,will try right now and get back,i think i tried all that,i have what looks like four or five grey oblong empty windows in top left corner,you can imagine the frustration,thanks,david.

no luck,,


just tried activating mouse control,that works fine,then alt-click[left]on window, then right click for sub menu,but it does not come up with delete,only map,icon size,window,etc etc, its blocking a 1/6 of my whole computer screen. very annoying,ive looked in config settings for a toggle on of or the like,no luck either, may try reinstalling,cept its steam,should take only 15 hrs,aaaarrrr

i even tried to edit confuser.ini too with the cut/paste suggested in another thread,no luck either,

This probably means the window is not activated properly. Try again. Try ctrl-rightclick instead of rightclick.

or back up your Confuser.ini and paste this in to replace the existing [ChatWindow] section.

It may not be what you want but as an experiment it should give you:

Secondary Controls (Compass heading, brakes etc) in bottom left, large blue font)
Motor graphic (throttle etc) just to right of Secondary Controls
(Radar Controller) Communications in top right, red font
Information and Chat in bottom right (Chat lines in larger font) in white or country font
A better stats layout down the center of the screen.

Leaves top left clear for the Tab commands
