This is a rather simple suggestion. All that I really want is a small bar on the bottom of the current window that shows at least three announcements at a time. I'm rather tired of having my announcements flooded by useless warnings, such as 'job item misplaced' and 'interrupted by deer', and then I miss important announcements like 'cave river is overflowing' and '<dwarf> is unconscious', where soon after several dwarves drown or are eaten by hungry packs of wolves.

Would also be nice to have the window be resizeable or bigger so that I can see more of the map at once. I don't really have a problem with that right now, so it doesn't matter too much to me.

Ideas?

I sometimes wish I could have everything zoomed in / bigger. (Yes, I realize I'd be seeing less of the map.)

I generally hit 'a' whenever there's an announcement to both clear it from the view so I can see the idlers counter again and also to see that I didn't miss anything important. You get used to it quickly, hitting 'a' and space in succession and spotting an odd-colored announcement among the red spam.

Or turn off some of the cancellation announcments under the 'O'rders menu.

I imagine the interface is getting an overhaul for the next release, but I would like the "Idlers" counter on top, not the bottom, so messages don't cover it. And it would be cool if it was "Idlers: X/Y" where x=idlers, y=total dwarfs.
