I agree with "Maybe we need something more obvious than a tool tip."
Have been clicking on 'Important hint: RPM vs. DEB = What to choose?' for some time, without any result. It is usually not obvious to hover on something for a tool tip, and probably should not be used to contain important information. 🙂 ________________________________ From: Dave Fisher <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, 9 March 2021 9:51 AM To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [DISCUSS] Platform hint text for macOS > On Mar 8, 2021, at 12:38 PM, Matthias Seidel <[email protected]> > wrote: > > Hi Marcus, > > Am 08.03.21 um 19:29 schrieb Marcus: >> Am 08.03.21 um 15:56 schrieb Matthias Seidel: >>> Am 08.03.21 um 15:49 schrieb Jim Jagielski: >>>> I don't understand the question.

Maybe we need something more obvious than a tool tip. Note for Windows the Important Hint could be prefixed with "Use 32 bit for 64 bit windows”. For macOS the important button could be: “Works on BigSur and M1 chips.
