When I am optimizing solutions I often wish it would be possible to switch off all those speech bubbles and the annoying "Secret room " messages.

I really do not want to see it every time I restart the room.

To stop the speech bubbles, just press space.

However, I don't think it is possible to switch off the "Secret Room!" message.

Sure, but even that's annoying when you restart a room 15 times :)

Sure you can! Just not on the first time you enter the secret room. I often use the trick of when I reach a secret room, I immediately leave and reenter the room, so the secret room display does not show up when I restart the room.

It would be fairly simple to implement new options that disable the flashing messages and speeches, but:
- It'd be easy for a player who doesn't know better to accidentally disable those
- Enabling disabling an option via settings is not the easiest
- Holds can use speech to convey important information

Alternatively it could be an extension of Puzzle Mode, which when enabled would just hide all the unnecessary information. Maybe ctrl+F2 opens a dialog which allows you to customize puzzle mode options, and one of them would be "Do not disturb" which would hide speeches and built-in flashing messages. Something to ponder about.
