New config menu

item quality colored border

TipTop

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.

Features:

class-colored border for units
added target text line
"faded" tip if unit is tapped, dead, or offline
custom border, background, and status bar textures
custom background color/alpha
ability to move the tooltip or attach to cursor
health percentage shown on statusbar
health bar may be below or above the tooltip
item-quality colored border for items
raid icon display
added talent text line
displays (Rare), (AFK), and (DND) when possible
adjust tip background alpha
SharedMedia support

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.

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.

Bug Reports / Feature Requests

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. TipTop may only be redistributed in UI packs, and any mention of the addon must point to this download page or my portal. You may use snippets of my code in addons you intend to distribute only after receiving permission, and credit must be given.

Change Log - TipTop

1.6.1
- tweaked rare notification and added rare elites to it
- added (AFK) and (DND) flags

1.6
- can now customize the background color (setting it to white will not color your custom bg texture)
- some options will now become disabled when not applicable

v.1.5.3
- added check so we don't get multiple talent lines because Healbot was doing something weird with the tooltips

v.1.5.2
- forgot half of the fix for Cirk's Targetz

v.1.5.1
- fix for compatability with Cirk's Targetz

v.1.5
- fixed: border color issue when class colored borders are disabled
- fixed: talents changing when inspect frame is open (no longer checks for talents if inspect frame is open and gives message in tooltip)
- updated: libraries
- updated: cleaned up options code
- removed: 2.4.3 compatability code (also moving to regular tooltip download cat!)

v.1.4.4 (gasp! two pushes in one hour!)
- fixed bug with tips not fading while talents are being queried but mouseover unit no longer exists
- added option to move health bar to above the tip

v.1.4.3
- fix for alpha on dead/tapped units
- fix (hopefully) for error reported on portal by Quokka

v.1.4.2
- added option to disable <<YOU>> in target text
- unit frames are valid mouseover units again - yay!!

v.1.4.1
- code cleanup
- moved health bar back outside of the tooltip

will solve lots of issues and make things easier for me
- added background for health bar
- error from mousing over targeted npc fixed, but Blizzard bug with mouseover still remains, so no class colored borders for npcs when hovering over unit frame

v.1.4
- added LibSharedMedia support
- uses AceGUI-3.0-SharedMediaWidgets to give previews of fonts/textures

v.1.3.5
- removed debug line

v.1.3.4
- reverted change to health text - now will display correct amounts

- fixed item quality color error
- updated lib
- added "(Rare)" text if a rare unit

v.1.3.1

@Hjalte: I'll look into it, but still post it on my to-do list (the portal)

@alrit: the default tip doesn't do this either, it's not anything I'm taking away. I'll think about it. Still put it where it needs to go if you want me to remember.

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.

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?

Harwel A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 5 File comments: 11 Uploads: 0	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.
