# Interface

> The settings window, minimap button, on-screen status bar, and /volvox chat commands.

## Settings window

The settings window is where you configure everything. Open it with any of:

* **Left-click** the minimap button.
* `/volvox` (or `/volvox settings` / `/volvox config`) in chat.
* **Right-click** the minimap button → **Settings**.

A sidebar keeps the window organized. Choose **LootRoute** for gathering, routes, nodes, recovery, and profession options. The other categories contain interface preferences and optional extras; ordinary gathering does not require them.

See [Settings](/guide/settings) for a tour of the LootRoute pages.

Changes take effect immediately — there is no save or apply button — and are remembered per character.

## Minimap button

A round **Volvox** button sits next to the minimap. Hold the left mouse button to drag it; LootRoute remembers where you leave it, even if that location makes sense only to you.

* **Left-click** — open or close the settings window.
* **Right-click** — quick menu:

| Menu entry                       | What it does                                              |
| -------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Enable Bot** / **Disable Bot** | Start or stop LootRoute (shows a checkmark while running) |
| **Settings**                     | Open the settings window                                  |
| **Hide Minimap Button**          | Hide the button; bring it back with `/volvox minimap`     |
| **Close**                        | Close the menu                                            |

## Chat commands

| Command            | What it does                                  |
| ------------------ | --------------------------------------------- |
| `/volvox`          | Open the settings window                      |
| `/volvox settings` | Open the settings window                      |
| `/volvox config`   | Open the settings window                      |
| `/volvox minimap`  | Show the minimap button again after hiding it |

## Status bar

Turn on **Show LootRoute Status** (LootRoute → General tab) to show a small translucent bar on screen:

```text theme={null}
LootRoute: SCAN | Daggerspine_Landing | Direct | node: target
```

It shows, left to right: the bot's current activity, the loaded route, the navigation mode, and whether a node is currently targeted. Drag it anywhere with the left mouse button. See the [status reference](/guide/statuses) for what each activity code means.

The route Start button uses the same on/off state as **Enable LootRoute** and the minimap menu. Changing any one of those controls updates the button and settings checkbox immediately, and starting from the button follows the same route behavior as starting from settings.

## Chat messages

Everything LootRoute reports appears in chat with a colored prefix:

```text theme={null}
[Volvox][SUCCESS]: LootRoute started
```

| Prefix              | Meaning                                                              |
| ------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `[Volvox][SUCCESS]` | Something completed — bot started, route saved, position blacklisted |
| `[Volvox][INFO]`    | Status updates — recording stopped, route cleared                    |
| `[Volvox][WARNING]` | Something needs attention — bot paused, no route selected            |
| `[Volvox][ERROR]`   | Something failed — route not found, invalid route name               |
