The built in tool tips are good enough for me, however, their location is annoying because I like to use the bottom right corner for grid or other addons. So Tool Tip Anchor was born.
Highlights:
It's super light weight, efficient, fast, and uses almost zero resources.
Features:
- Reposition the tool tip wherever you like.
Configuration:
Open the ToolTipAnchor.lua file with any text editor and look for the following line:
tooltip:SetPoint("BOTTOMRIGHT", UIParent, "BOTTOMRIGHT", -30, 225);
The first tag in quotes "BOTTOMRIGHT" is the point on the tool tip where you want to anchor from. The second tag in quotes "BOTTOMRIGHT" is the point on the screen where you want to display the tool tip. So essentially we are saying anchor the bottom right of the tool tip to the bottom right of the screen. The -30 and 225 numbers are offsets. -30 means 30 pixels to the left of the bottom right of the screen, and the 225 means 225 pixels up from the bottom right of the screen. Do not change UIParent as that may create unwanted or unexpected results.
Valid Anchor Points:
- CENTER
- BOTTOM
- TOP
- LEFT
- RIGHT
- BOTTOMLEFT
- BOTTOMRIGHT
- TOPLEFT
- TOPRIGHT
The screenshot shows where the tool tip will appear with the default settings.
If you find any bugs, please report them and I will try to fix it ASAP.
If you have any suggestions, feel free to share them. But keep in mind that my goal is to keep this AddOn simple. There are a dozen AddOns out there if you want lots of fancy features.
