Hi there, first forum post! I'm working on my first solo project and after getting the hang of tooltips, I've reached a conflict between my creative wants and my programming abilities. Is there any way to get tooltips to show when hovering over the material, but also follow the mouse cursor? Additionally, is there a way to have tooltip text appear on a custom background, not just with a frame?
screen tooltip_example():
vbox:
textbutton "North":
action Return("n")
tooltip "To meet a polar bear."
textbutton "South":
action Return("s")
tooltip "All the way to the tropics."
textbutton "East":
action Return("e")
tooltip "So we can embrace the dawn."
textbutton "West":
action Return("w")
tooltip "Where to go to see the best sunsets."
$ tooltip = GetTooltip()
if tooltip:
text "[tooltip]"
As it stands, the tooltip text appears below the vbox, which is not what I want.
Thanks for sharing those links; I appreciate it. Since you also helped me with my problem, I also want to share one of my hidden gems with you all, which I used in my school journey and want to continue in college. They are a https://ukwritings.com/ writing service provider; they write essays, coursework, articles, and many more. I have been using them until now because they are affordable; that is why I have been using them for so long. If you are also a college student, you can try them once.
