what are the use cases? icons are not a problem. actions could be, but then we could probably quite easily add a way to get notified of link clicks from tooltips or even allow one to send in a list of QActions in ToolTipContent. what we don't want however are random things inserted into these tips because then: * we can not guarantee consistency * we can not easily change how toolitps are displayed (due to external assumptions about them) * we can not provide non-visual tooltips mechanisms (think about the possibility of showing tips on a remote system or display, for instance) so.. instead of starting with a "solution", let's start with some use cases and figure out how to fulfill them. > >(to not talking about the style, since all > > widgets > > added here should custom paint with the plasma style, since tooltips are > > qwidgets, so no plasma widgets in here) > > Yes, but it is easier to make widget pretty (for example using theme > elements or at least colors) than making own tool tips that don't differ > from these in Plasma (mainly because of that move animation). ;-) it's not just the move animation. never, ever assume that what you see right now is what it will be like tomorrow or on a different type of computer system. so even if these implementations managed to get the moving animation working through some magical line of code, it would still be wrong. :) -- Aaron J.
