That picture is too blurry for me to make much sense of. Please use your OS's screen capture function, don't take photographs. E.g. Windows PCs have a very nice "Snipping Tool" function that allows you to turn rectangles on the screen into PNG images. Turning a photo JPEG into a PNG really gives us the worst of both worlds!

Picture posting suggestion #2: crop to the important part. :D

Picture posting suggestion #3: reduce the size of the screenshot by 50% (though still leave it readable) when you have a bed-quilt-size monitor. :lol:

The whole panel will auto-close when the messages inside the panel are clicked away or set to not appear anymore.

The little blue X icon at the end tells the message to go away this time, it will come back next time. The comic-strip speech bubble icon with the little blue slash at the end tells the message to go away and never come back.

Couldn't you foresee an option that after 10/15 sec the window closes by itself? It would be useful to have the information and not have to close it from time to time or select the information to display.

Who are you addressing? We here are all VirtualBox users, not devs.

Try the Bugtracker. But search first. This side panel has had much discussion and an auto-collapse may have been requested.
