LayMacroTooltip

This small addon allows the user to customize the tooltips displayed when mouseovering macro icons in an action bar. Without this addon, the base UI would only show the name of the macro.


You can install it by extracting the folder to your addon folder, as any other addon.


Tooltips for character-specific macros and for account macros are now saved separately. The new behavior can be summed up by this example:

- You have 3 characters: Alice, Bob and Charlie,
- You have a shared macro called "Mount" that Alice uses,
- Bob and Charlie both use a custom "Mount" macro, not the shared one.

What happens is that Alice will see the macro tooltip set for the shared version. Bob will see the macro tooltip for his personal Mount macro, and so will Charlie.



Known issues:

- 2 macros with the same name in the same category (character/account) will have the same tooltip

Please post about any bug you encounter and I will try to fix them as soon as I can. I am too lazy to spend hours testing my addons, so there are sometimes minor bugs in odd situations that I do not know about.
