Pop-up Text boxes in political event screen

Don't know if you are even considering future mods, but it would be nice if you got a pop-up window in the political events screen when you scroll over the possible events that would show what ,if any, conditions must be met to make the event possible. I know they are in the manual, but I'm lazy.

Are you using v1.011?
In v1.011 there is a small improvement which is intended to help with this. The events show RED if all prerequisites are currently satisfied, black if the prereqs are not satisified, and grey if the event has already occurred.. It isn't everything, but at least it tells you whether it is possible right now or not.
Events are all mod-able now, which means that a pop-up should really provide text that is constructed based on the configurable event. What you are suggesting is a great UI idea, but it would be rather difficult to implement.
I like the idea so much that I will think about it, but realistically I don't think it will happen.

Thanks for the response. I am using V1.011. I like it, in fact the red events are what prompted my question. I was playing a game and noticed some events were red and couldn't remember the prerequisites, so I had to look them up. Not a huge problem, but if it were easily programmed I think it would be a helpful addition.
