Tooltips in corner
 

Hey guys whats the possiblity of making the tooltip window popup in a position other than below the mouse pointer, e.g in the corner of the screen .. or better yet in a moveable window?
As featured in the other highly sucessful mmo :)

Not likely.

Me not saying yes or no atm on this ... but going to have a bit play with it now and see ... I will let you know if what I am thinking actualy works or not lol =p



EDIT

Nah it didnt work ... I made the page 1024,768 set pack location etc moved all the tooltip info to a better place set fixed sizes etc...
And it just ignored everything once in game lmao

So yeh the answer is no heh :p

did you put that in an onshow Laffs? Because all of SOE settings are sent just before the window is displayed, so I found if I put things in the OnShow event somtimes it'll work.

Any luck yet on this Laffs? I really would like to put the tooltip in a more desireable spot as well. Along with the stupid Destroy Confirmation window. It always pops up over my other windows.

Sorry Landiin I missed your reply here somehow :(

OnShow , No I didnt try that likes so what your saying is set the page size on an OnShow event as well? , Does clickthrough "stick" for the tooltip window as well do you know as it dont for the darn raid window you gotta keep setting it in game and if you add "clickthrough=true" to the page code it just ignore's it and wont allow you to set it in game anymore it will just default to being false..

Oks sort of....

The OnShow works and keeps the sized fixed (nice one) , If you set the opacity for the background in game to transparent then you get the results in the 2 SS's I have here.... But you can see the acociated problems with the window... It is a bit outta control as to its placement, and how it formats the text...

Anyone want to have a quick look at this then ;), I dont have the time atm to mess with it anymore..

Okay, am I following you correctly... those popups that tell you what spell is under your hotbar... that info can be put in a specific, set location? That's what you're working on?

If so, I could *definitely* use this!

Well yeh trying to get it to stay in one spot likes lol .... Not an easy task as it seems =/

Yeah, can't say how useful something like this would be. Hate to use this as a reference, but Just like WoW, they have two locations for the tooltip 1) pops up lower righthand corner of the screen, and 2) in the top center. I would love for it to operate like the latter. Right now, it's too useful to turn off, but extremely obtrusive.
