Having plugin addons less in the way...

Often when I come upon an amazing sight in Middle Earth I stop and take a picture, but its dificult to capture the right moment when I have to go in and unload all my plugins because many of their icons dont disapear when the UI is disabled (f12). Also, plugins like LotRO Compendium, MoorMap, Songbook, and LotROPad dont go under a window when it is placed above its icons, is there a way to fix that?

Having Icons disappear under other windows just leads to complaints about how they can't be found. Plugins like MoorMap have an option to use chat commands (which can be bound to quickslots if desired) to control the plugin visibility and hide the icon completely. In the case of MoorMap, the chat commands are listed in the plugin description and the option to hide the minimized icon is in the Options panel.

LoTRO Compendium as of 2 releases ago should also have a way to hide its icon in the configuration tab. It also listens for F12.

Make sure to send your comments directly to the author of any plugins that don't behave the way you wish. They might just add the feature you want.

Thanks for the responses, and I commented on a few of them. The main question/hope of the thread was to see if there was a "universally working" line of code I could add to one of the files. Its a strech, but worth asking lol

Its fairly easy to implement (hiding when pressing F12), but not quite that easy.
