gTip

Version: 1.271

by: Goldpaw [More]

What is this?

Yet another tooltip addon. It is dependent on gMedia which must be downloaded separately!

What does it do?

Reskin the game tooltips
Moves the tooltip healthbars inside the frame
Colors character names by class
Colors unit names by faction standing
Colors pet names by happiness
Colors unit level by quest difficulty (makes stuff 10 levels above you red, etc etc)
Allows you to choose between anchoring all tooltips to the curser, only unit tooltips, or none at all
Can hide the tooltips when engaged in combat

How can I configure it?

/gtip

It's not working!

Remember to install gMedia!

What is the name of the UI and Addons in your screenshots?

But the tooltip is too big, is there a way I can make it smaller? __________________ 54/17/0 PvP Male Orc Arms Warrior --------------------- Glyph of Mortal Strike Glyph of Execution Glyph of Rending --------------------- Glyph of Charge Glyph of Battle Glyph of Bloodrage

Just like your gChat addon, actually. Magnificent. Thank you for writing this. Now off to test your new gBags addon as well!

Someone A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 1 File comments: 9 Uploads: 1	default anchoring When setting to "default" you set anchor none and reset it to bottom right corner. Can you please add an option where you literally just "do nothing", so that I can use another addon to place the tooltip where I want, or better yet just add a custom placement option for the tooltip, like the addon "Tipsy".

Thanks for that. It's definitely not intended. I'll add a fix for that too.

I don't think I've changed anything regarding whether or not player titles are shown...? Hm. Or maybe I have. When I added class coloring I *might* have forgotten to show the titles along with it.

*blushes and hides in a corner*

- Added to the ToDo list for next update. Which will be soon.

I don't change the font. It simply uses whatever WoW tells it. gTip is (currently) just the default WoW tooltips with the healthbars inside the frame and a different background and border.

Also i customized my tinytip back in the day that might be nice to add into your addon.. i have it setup so whenever someone has a target it shows you in the tooltip.. also another thing that comes in handy when you quickly glance at them is colour coding based on class and whatnot. here's a ss of how i have it setup when targeting players

Yeah, I've been thinking about it. It requires a rewrite, though. Currently I don't edit the contents of the tooltips at all. All I do is to skin them.

Dead annoying having the tooltip cover the actionbars, isn't it?

Any chance of adding an option to disable the cursor tooltips when your hovering over ui elements?.. as in allow the tooltip to hover in the corner instead of your mouse
