Since I upgraded to Seamonkey 2.0 it looks like I don't any more get 'tool tips' texts when I move the mouse over links having the html attributes 'TITLE' and/or 'ALT' filled. This worked with pre 2.0 Seamonkey releases. Do I miss something or did I encounter a bug/feature? An example is new score contribution date information in WIMA (see my signature): <img src='/Icons/new.gif' border='0' alt='2009/12/05' title='2009/12/05' ><a name="Gebhardi"></a> When using FireFox I do see the text '2009/12/05' when I move the mouse over the 'NEW' icon at (http://icking-music-archive.org/ByComposer/Knuth.php#Gebhardi. But Seamonkey does not display anything. -- Christian Mondrup, Archive Editor WIMA: Werner Icking Music Archive http://icking-music-archive.org/

Works fine for me in 2.0 - Check Edit/Preferences/Appearance and make sure 'Show Tool Tips' box is checked. -- Ed "Charity looks at the need and not at the cause." - German proverb.

Maybe this ought to be default enabled. -- Christian Mondrup, Archive Editor WIMA: Werner Icking Music Archive http://icking-music-archive.org/

Is there a way to adjust the duration of the tooltips? (BTW: I can't find the about:config item corresponding to the "Show Tooltips" setting.) -- LL

Not in 2.0, but in a future version there should be the option to have them display as long as the cursor is stationary over the element. It's already in the Firefox 3.6 betas. There's a 'No Tooltip Timeout' extension for current versions of Fx, but I don't know if it can work with SeaMonkey. <https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/11233> > (BTW: I can't find the about:config item corresponding to the "Show > Tooltips" setting.)

Ross <http://www.rossde.com/> Go to Mozdev at <http://www.mozdev.org/> for quick access to extensions for Firefox, Thunderbird, SeaMonkey, and other Mozilla-related applications. You can access Mozdev much more quickly than you can Mozilla Add-Ons.

I got it to work with SM. Here's how: 1) force its installation - in about:config, create a new string general.useragent.extra.firefox and set it to Firefox/3.5 - in about:config set extensions.checkCompatibility to false - install from the above link 2) go to <profile_folder>/extensions/notooltiptimeout@extensions.geckozone.org/ - edit chrome.manifest and change the first line to: overlay chrome://navigator/content/navigator.xul chrome://notooltiptimeout/content/notooltiptimeoutOverlay.xul - edit install.rdf and add this, just past one of the other "targetApplication" section: (I think this step is not required to make it work but that suppresses the warning about incompatibility in Add-on Manager, and one should then be able to revert extensions.checkCompatibility to true) <!-- SeaMonkey --> <em:targetApplication> <Description> <em:id>{92650c4d-4b8e-4d2a-b7eb-24ecf4f6b63a}</em:id> <em:minVersion>2.0</em:minVersion> <em:maxVersion>2.*</em:maxVersion> </Description> </em:targetApplication> 3) restart SM and enjoy! I hope this helps someone! -- LL

It's a bit pointless when you tell the reader in step two how to make the extension compatible. You don't even tell the reader to undo the changes done in step 1 afterwards. The better way is to download the .xpi file (right-click > save target as...), open it with your favourite archive program (eg WinZip), and then edit the files in it as mentioned in step 2. Then open the .xpi file with SeaMonkey, and install it.

When you left click, you get a popup suggesting you should try Firefox. How is one supposed to guess that right clicking will download it nevertheless? Thanks for giving the right way. -- LL
