    When hovering over a title, pet, mount reward could the tooltip be detached from the side so that it no longer appears by the side of it.

     

    The tooltip at present is shown as the full height almost of my screen when there are multiple zones a battle pat/mount is able to be got from, this is due mainly to how narrow the tooltip is, it would be better if the tooltip in my opinion was detached from the main window and also be made a bit wider, this would then mean that the tooltip could be displayed over the top of the main window, this potentially could be made optional with a setting?

    This has been asked for many times, but unfortunately it's not going to happen. So sorry about that! The tooltip library doesn't make this feature easy or possible to do. The width is calculated automatically by the tooltip library and can't be changed.

    Can the width of the tooltip be increased then ?

    As I said above, the width is calculated automatically by the tooltip library and can't be changed. You can change the scale of the tooltip, making it larger or smaller. You can also turn off the Luckiness and Zone columns, making it narrower.

    No I don't mean that tooltip, I am talking about the tooltip for the pet/mount/toy item, not the rarity tooltip itself.

     

    Also as previously mentioned there is an addon called "SavedInstances" which uses the LibQTip-1.0 library same as your addon, and they have somehow been able to detach the window away from the tooltip.

    Gotcha, didn't realize you were talking about the secondary tooltip. I'll look into it, but some configurability there is probably quite possible.

     

    I'll also look at what Saved_Instances has done to enable detaching, as that is a long-standing request. Thanks! I'll put that in its own ticket, though.
