Havoc - I don't think they should be off by default but we should try to make them smaller(less words) and as pretty as possible. We can't really make them smaller/less words except by rewriting all the text, which is a pretty major project and would break translations. The only way to control the appearance is to change the color... At a minimum, can't you make them disappear after a short delay (2-3 seconds)? They're really annoying -- it forces the user to move the mouse off the titlebar. Still exists in pinstripe, in fact, some of the tooltips are bigger than the windows they are a part of... ...and really annoying since most such options (disable tooltips, make tooltips disappear after a certain time) can't be turned off from inside gnomecc as gnomecc doesn't save changes (bug 14789). Turned off the tooltips by default |
