    It would be really helpful to be able to show the item's description while hovering over a key item in the 'Select Item' effect. It looks like someone did this with a single line of code in Ace if it helps as a reference:

    The description would appear in a separate window below the 'select item' dialogue, or in a 'show message' at the bottom of the screen.

    If anyone has the time to look at this that would be amazing, it would be very helpful for my IGMC entry. Thanks for reading!

    Just to be safe - what kind of a description do you mean? The item description defined in the editor or some kind of a custom field for a completely custom description? Because you can achieve a custom description box with Yanfly's item core :)
    it would look like this for example

    As you can see, up there there is a description box... The default one :D And down there I have a little story describing that item :D

    Here is a super-ultra quick and dirty solution. Should hopefully play nice with other plugins.

    @Poryg: I might well check that plugin out shortly... thanks!

    @Ossra: I really appreciate that, it works perfectly! Ideally for my game the windows would appear the other way round, so the description is below the select window. Would that be an easy tweak? Thank you so much again :D

    @Geoff Moore Sure! Just change line 8 ~ 10 :

    Code:
        if (this._helpWindow) {
      this._helpWindow.y = this.y + this.height;
    }
