It happens a lot that I accidentally open the maps, tt's or SKC graph window when typing a message in the smartchat. Usually I can figure out how to close those windows again by checking all the letters from my message.

I do however see a lot of people asking how to close those windows, because there is no instructions in those windows on how to close them again :)

tl;dr Add "Press [insert key] to close this window" instructions in each server window

Good idea?

Happened to me several times, until I figured out how it all works. It was very frustrating.
(Used to reconnect to close them, lol)

I like the idea + [X] button in top right corner if possible

[X] button would need extra explanation for "how to bring mouse cursor" :D

Writing CLOSE = G (Graphs) or CLOSE = N button with red letters would be more efficient imo.

Because while racing, even you activate graphs you can continue to race. Even experienced racers have this accidentally opening graphs, and you close them without interrupting your race. If the mouse cursor is enabled upon pressing G button or whatever would cause interreptuion during the race (maybe some hits because the car is free to go with the initial momentum)

Also, I think it should be more obvious how to mute music from the webradio. Sure, it is mentioned in the chat when a song starts, but I guess people don't see it, because they still ask.

To prevent "HOW STOP SHIT MUSIC" messages, I suggest a small dialog with instructions in a corner of the screen, that opens as soon as a song starts (see attached image).

I notice a lot of people simply quit the server after the music starts, because they don't know how to stop it, and maybe don't even know English well enough to ask (note the icons in my example :) )
