Title: tooltips show-up time
Post by: marobaro on 2016-10-24, 19:00:52

Can the tooltip help be made to stay ON for as long as mouse is over an entry in question? They disappear in 5 seconds (material editor), which for longer descriptions is hardly enough, especially as you try to understand some new feature.
Cheers

yes, max chooses to show the tooltips for really short time, and even windows does not allow longer viewing time than 30 seconds AFAIK (WTF MICROSOFT). We might reimplement the tooltips from scratch, which would allow infinite viewing time, but... we are not sure if the time is worth it currently

Thanks :) Maybe its worth doing one for the corona materials too. I found this a really novel and really useful way or learning what each menu item did. A really great way to learn!
