FallUI - Unread Notes and Holotapes

Have you ever scrolled through Pip-Boy's Notes tab and wondered which notes you've read? This mod solves this problem.

feature

Dimmed Read Items - Read notes and holotapes are displayed with 50% transparency (configurable 0–100%) for clear visual distinction

"(Read)" suffix - appended to read project name (text configurable)

Instant updates - the list refreshes immediately as you read notes, no need to close Pip-Boy

Toggle Key - Configurable key to mark any Pip-Boy item as read/unread. Especially suitable for miscellaneous items (recipes, blueprints, contracts) and game cartridges

Mark Key - A single key press marks an item as "marked" - remains bright, has a visible suffix, and is automatically marked as read skipped. Ideal for configuring holotapes (SKK, Global Stash, etc.) and FormID's Fallout Notes for reuse in different game content

Magazine comes with - automatically tagged when reading via Pip-Boy, just like notes

Applies to all readable items - notes, magazines, text holotapes, audio holotapes, game cartridges, recipes, blueprints, contracts

Persistence across archives - your read history is stored in F4SE co-archives and survives load order changes

Supports all FallUI themes - Alpha-based dimming so it won't hinder any color scheme

Hot reloadable configuration - change settings and reopen Pip-Boy without restarting the game

How it works

Pip-Boy uses it to track opened items. If you listen to the holotape in the terminal and then retrieve it, Pip-Boy is not involved - it will appear as unread until you open it from your backpack. Think of it like a Pip-Boy read receipt.

Project status

Every tracked item is in exactly one of three states:

Unread - full brightness, no suffix

Read - dim, "(read)" suffix. Automatically applied when reading via Pip-Boy, or via the toggle key

Marked for full brightness, suffixed by "(*)". Set via tag key. Tag items skip auto-tagging

Switching and marking are mutually exclusive: marking a read item clears it; switching a marked item clears the mark.
