Title: How do I stop baloon notifications? Driving me nuts.
Post by: Gwilson on November 23, 2021, 03:06:56 pm: This may be a Windows issue, but any help is appreciated. I know I solved this a few years back, but it is here again and I am at a loss. Whenever I hover over a song title I get a square "baloon" giving me all the file info. This completely obscures the song title list, which is what I want to see. How do I get rid of this "baloon"?

It should disappear in a second or when you move the mouse.

It's called a tooltip and you can turn them off in MC's settings.

Post by: Gwilson on November 23, 2021, 06:16:59 pm: search for "Tooltips" gets no answer in this search field. If it helps, here is what shows up in one of these "Baloons" - actually more rectangular. It has small picture of album cover and then: 4. After You've Gone (4:13) 8 1/2 Souvenirs - Happy Feet (1995) WAV - 1411 Kbps - 42.7 MB - 16 bit - 44.1 kHz DISKSTATION\Music Folder\8 1/2 Souvenirs- Happy Feet - 04 - After You've Gone.WAV

What is the full version number of MC are you using?

In MC, from the toolbar, open "Tools > Options"

In the options window that opens, there is a search box at the bottom. Enter Tooltip in there.
You should see one result. That is the setting you are looking to change.
