TipTop   Popular! (More than 5000 hits)
In my quest to find the perfect tooltip mod, I decided to create my own and have a learning experience. Thus, TipTop was born. TipTop seeks to modify the default tip instead of replace it.


NOTE: Options are reset with 1.9!


2.0 is RELEASED! Please delete your old TipTop directory before updating.

Apparently, my comments are a magnet for bug reports and feature requests, despite the buttons for them to the right to put them on my portal, the FAQ saying to put them on my portal (with links even!), and repeated requests in the comments section to put them at my portal. So I'll put it here in big, colorful, bold letters.
FEATURE REQUESTS AND BUG REPORTS NEED TO BE PUT ON MY PORTAL. IF YOU PUT THEM IN MY COMMENTS, THEY WILL MOST LIKELY BE FORGOTTEN AND/OR IGNORED.
I appreciate the time that you take to report bugs and request things, but please appreciate the time/effort that it takes me to go through them and remember them, and please just put them in the correct location.



Features:
  • class-colored border for units (optional support for !ClassColors)
  • option to display class icon before unit's name in tooltip (off by default)
  • added target text line
  • "faded" tip if unit is tapped, dead, or offline
  • custom border, background, and status bar textures
  • custom font selection, plus option of Outline, etc.
  • custom background color/alpha
  • custom health bar color
  • ability to move the tooltip or attach to cursor
  • can show health on statusbar in three different formats
  • health bar may be above or below the tooltip, or be contained inside the tooltip
  • item-quality colored border for items
  • raid icon display
  • added talent text line
  • displays (Rare), (AFK), and (DND) when possible, next to the unit's name
  • option to display elite/rare elite graphic for those units
  • adjust tip background alpha
  • SharedMedia support
  • each character has a choice of using either a global or character specific profile



FAQ:

Where are the options?
The options panel is located on the addons page of the Interface Options panel. Hit escape, go to Interface, click the AddOns tab, and you'll see TipTop listed there. You can also use the slash commands /tiptop or /tip

How do I move the tooltip?
In the TipTop config window, scroll down until you see the anchor settings. You may either anchor the mouse to the cursor, or to a side/corner of the screen. Note that x,y offsets only work when the tip is *not* anchored to the cursor. This is a limitation set by the game's API, and I will not code in the hacks that other tooltip addons use to get around this. I suggest using the alpha setting instead so the tip doesn't block your view so much.

I want the tooltip offset from the cursor - will you add it or is it bugged?
See above.

Where can I find more fonts/borders/bar textures?
For further font choices, I suggest the SharedMedia addon. Have a font you want to use that's not in there? Read the "Instructions for MyMedia.txt" file in the SharedMedia folder.

How can I give feedback?
Feel free to leave your comments/questions here, but all bug reports and feature requests need to go to my portal if you want me to remember to do them.

Can I use your code/textures?
All use of my code and custom textures separate from TipTop must be for your own personal use and they may not be redistributed separate from the addon. You may use snippets of my code in addons you intend to distribute only after receiving permission, and credit must be given.

Can I redistribute this addon?
My addons may only be redistributed in UI compilations, and any mention of the addon must point to its download page or my portal, both on wowinterface.

Do you accept cookies?
I love cookies! Unfortunately, they may turn to crumbs in the mail. Instead, you may donate to my cookie fund via PayPal.
  Change Log - TipTop

- fix for bug where default values didn't show for offset fields in options window

Eh... I don't think I'm going to try to go that far. I, personally, prefer to have buff tooltips by the buffs because that's where I'm looking at that moment. I'm sure that's why Blizzard coded it that way, too.

Sorry, Vranx. I forgot to put in the other part of the fix that Cirk suggested. ><

Once in a blue moon I stumble upon a mod that looks slick by default, has 'just enough' options without 'way too many' options, and is easily customized to taste in 30 seconds.

This is one such mod... kudos!

And I *still* cannot reproduce it. I spent 10-15 minutes changing anchor positions, offsets, whether it's on the cursor or not, and reloading the UI every so often. Not once did I have a problem with TipTop not going where I told it to. Are you two *certain* that you don't have another addon interfering?

I suggest fiddling with the tooltip's alpha.

Cursor Anchor + Offset please!

The only thing this addon is missing to make to it perfect is anchoring to cursor with offset. Directly anchoring to the cursor with no offset makes it hard to see what you're mousing over.

Reading further down, I see you've kiboshed that idea. Oh well.
