CursorTooltip  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 1.2
by: squidbear [More]

A simple addon with a simple function: this mod anchors the default tooltip to the cursor instead of displaying it in the bottom right corner of the screen.

Happy for you!

It's a good thing then, that you do not have to use this.

All addons are voluntary

I'm sorry if I was a bit rude in my last post, but what I wanted to say was: be creative!

Love your addon and thanks for your consideration.
Thanks for the suggestion! The pending update is in ZIP format.

Thanks for the AddOn! I've wanted a simple way to just get the tool tip to my mouse-pointer awhile but haven't got the skills to figure out how.

Now I know. Thanks!

Is your comment really necessary? Perhaps this addon author wanted to write something simple, that worked for him, and wanted to share it.

Nothing forcing you to use it...and not use something else. There's alternative options for almost every other mod out there - guess people shouldn't write mods that duplicate a previous work at all?

<shakes head>
