Can't see white items...

if I don't press alt whole the time. I can see everything above white items though. But I would also see white items all the time so I can see if good potions dropped example. Anyway to make it possible?
Go to options
the UI tab
Make sure that "always highlight" has a check mark beside it

(by default it's usually the Z key to turn it off and on...if i'm not mistaken)
if Z is only toggling between rare/blue/unique and no loot, then your white item filter is stuck.. i have written some instructions that will require you to edit the POE config file in notepad (or equiv txt editor)

Spoiler
i really wish GGG wouldnt have removed the white item filter from the UI, without at least making sure that everyones filter got set back to "FALSE" (show white items)...

i see more and more people who are "brand new" having this issue..

since patch 0.10.0 (open beta) GGG removed the UI option to not show white items on the ground. this was useful in closed beta, when this game was a loot pinata..

since then many things have changed and the need for a filter for white items has gone by the wayside.. the UI option is gone, however the config variable is still in the game and i expect it to be depreciated later in development.

close the game if open, find your config, mine is my docs > my games > path of exile > production_config.ini

once inside find:

filter_white_items=

yours probably says "true" you want to change that to false..

if filter_white_items= is already set to false, set it to true, then save the file, start the game, log in, maybe even log into a character, then exit, the game, open your config back up, and change it back to "false", save file, restart game..
Things with "increased" and "decreased" in the tooltip are additive ... where as "More" or "Less" are multiplicative ...
