I am not currently working on TinyTip and cannot guarantee it will ever get updated for Cataclysm. I recommend Leatrix Tooltip for low resource usage and TipTac or TipTop for a more featureful option, but with more resource usage. Thank you for your patronage.

- Description Updated -
- Note: I do not maintain TinyTipOptions -
What is TinyTip? Well, it started out as just a simple upgrade over AF_Tooltip_Mini and exploded from there. Now it shares no code with what it used to be, becoming something more, while still staying true to its name. The core of TinyTip is basically just an upgrade over AF_Tooltip_Mini, a small file around 24KB. The more modules you allow to load, the more this value increases. The goal of TinyTip is to allow you to mix and match your modules while keeping the smallest memory footprint possible. All TinyTip addons are optional.
Anyway, as you can guess, TinyTip changes the look of your GameTooltip. Here are the features found in core:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TinyTip
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Required only for interoperability between TinyTip addons.
- Required by TinyTipOptions and nothing else so far.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TinyTipBasic (core formating)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Name, backdrop, and border (optional) colouring by reaction (Hostile, Friendly, etc.)
- Class coloured with raid colours.
- Level coloured by difficulty.
- Creature Type (Imp, Cat) given for Pets.
- UnitClassification (Humanoid, Undead, etc.) given for NPCs.
- Elite Status (Elite, Rare, WorldBoss, Rare Elite) added when applicable.
- (Tapped) for Tapped, (Corpse) for Corpse
- Optional Guild Names displayed. (on by default)
- Optional backdrop coloring for friends and guildies. (on by default)
- Optional Honor Rank Name or Number. (on by default)
- Optional "Hostile", "Friendly", etc. reaction text for the colour-blind. (off by default)
- Optional Compact Tooltip mode.
- English, German, French, and Chinese localization, and partial support for other clients.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TinyTipPositioning
-----------------------------------------------------------------
- Positioning Options (Anchoring, Offsets)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TinyTipTargets
-----------------------------------------------------------------
- Who's targetting your tooltip mob?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Troubleshooting
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: TinyTip is preventing another tooltip addon from working.
A: Go into that other addon's TOC file and add/change this line to include TinyTip.
## OptionalDeps:
Q: Help! I'm getting incredibly long / infinite load times with TinyTipExtras / TinyTipOptions!
A: There is a bug with Ace2 addons (specifically, AceLibrary) which was fixed in the latest revision. If possible, update your addons.
Q: I'm getting an error from TinyTip, or an option isn't working right.
A: 1) Disable all other addons and see if the problem still occurs.
2) Check my WoWI portal to see if it's a known issue, and for updates.
3) Maybe your files are corrupt. Delete TinyTip, TinyTipExtras, and TinyTipOptions, then re-download them and install from stratch.
4) Your Saved Variable database may have gotten corrupt somehow. Try using /tinytip default and then /tinytip confirm to reset it.
5) If resetting your options doesn't work, exit WoW, delete all your Saved Variable files for TinyTip (global and per character), then restart WoW.
6) Leave a bug report on my WoWI portal.
Q: Where's the secret cow option?
A: There is no secret cow option.

Changelog (Release)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes in v30100
- Updated TOC as the basic TinyTip modules have been confirmed working.
- Fixed a small bug in guild lines.
- Removed modules from TinyTip (core) as people expressed problems with them. Use the standalone versions.
Changes in v1.4.16
- Thanks to twobits and copystring, we now not only have full 3.x compatibility, but we also have a new TinyTipOptions. It's included in the zip as a separate addon.
Changes in v1.4.12
- Thanks to many people for updating this addon on the Wowace SVN while I was away. Here's the official release. It still has a few bugs in it that I'll sort out in the next few weeks, as I work on an overhaul with new features. I'll try to keep you people up-to-date.

Had some time, did some more resource usage testing on a few mods recently. Found a regression with TinyTip.
The r30100 version here on WowInterface contains a unique, updated version of TinyTipTargets. A version which unfortunately uses a massive ton more CPU time than the older version on WoWAce (r25/33) does. TinyTip r30100, WoW 3.2.2.10505 live, USEnglish client/server. Tested with Option House, CPU profiling enabled. TinyTipTargets eats 0.4 to 0.5 CPU/second continually when idle & when mousing over something, this spikes to 0.9-1.1 CPU/second. Which is very high. Next, replace TinyTipTargets r30100 with r33 from WowAce (from link above). Retest: it uses 0 CPU when idle and only 0.03-0.04 CPU/second when mousing over a target. The Ace3 library (standalone) consumption doesn't change. So the "color" & "mouseover hack" LUA updates to TinyTipTargets r30100 may not have been worth it. r33 seems to show targeters properly in the tooltip while using far less CPU. Mousing-over-target CPU usage seems to be an issue with several tooltip mods that show targets in the tooltip (TipTop, for example, spikes to 4-5 CPU/second mousing over targets). Hopefully the next release version of TinyTip (if there is one, crossing fingers ) reverts TinyTipTargets back to its formerly efficient nature. |

I've moved both Interface and WTF folders to my desktop and installed only TinyTip (to make sure there were no conflicts). Neither /ttip or /tinytip will work.
