Tooltip Issues
« on: May 18, 2016, 05:06:08 pm »

Posting as a new topic because the old one was too cluttered and the option to delete our own posts seems to have disappeared so I can't tidy it up.


  • Car Radio tooltips remain transparent at all times, even with transparency disabled.
  • When the skin is inverted, tooltips flash as they appear.
  • The default tooltips for podcasts have the fields displayed out-of-order.
  • Disabling transparency for tooltips also makes the tooltip shadows opaque.

#2 - When the skin is inverted, the tooltips flash on-screen

Video demonstrating the issue.

This only seems to happen when the tooltip is not overlapping anything else.
The issue is actually worse when the tooltips are transparent, as they stay the wrong color.

#3 - The default tooltips for podcasts have the fields displayed out-of-order

[Comment] is being added as the very last thing to the tooltip, which looks out of place.
It used to be above the filename before this happened.
 
I've fixed this myself using custom tooltips, but it seems like it would be better if the default was changed.
This is what I used, trying to cover all possible uses:
Code: [Select]
<b>Delimit([Name], Delimit([Duration], /), / /( ), Delimit([Track #], ./ , ))<//b>
If(IsEqual([Artist], [Album], 1), [Artist], ListBuild(1, / -/ , [Artist], [Album]))Delimit([Date], /) , / /( )
FixCase([File Type], 3)Delimit([File Size], , / -/ )
 
[Comment]

If(!IsEqual([Comment], [Description], 1), [Description], )
 
[Filename]

Additionally, it seems that you cannot use FixCase() within ListBuild()

#4 - Disabling transparency for tooltips also makes the tooltip shadows opaque.

The graphics used to create shadows around the tooltips are made opaque when transparency is disabled.
It's not a major problem, but can look ugly.

Attached are examples showing:
1 - Correct display of the shadows when transparency is enabled
2 - Current display of shadows when transparency is disabled
3 - How the shadows would ideally look when transparency is disabled
