Leave the losers behind like Installshield

ok .. I was wondering .. if a tooltip like this is possible:

< LIKE THIS >

NOTE: check the dhtml menu at the top of that link

I know that a plugin is needed for it if it is possible .. but I cant make it .. and Iam not saying that someone needs to make it .. Iam just saying 😉 ... that

if you make shit like this .. then you would kick all the other installer software's assssssesss.. like REALLY HARD !!!!!! ...

With Regard, Vegeta 😁

what does this have to do with installers? lobo's tooltip plugin is good enough. if nsis had any fancy feature you're thinking of, it'd probably as slow as installshield 😛

It's possible to make it 😉

But the fade thing is support only on NT machines (2000/XP), I don't know the effect in lower machines. I can try in show you.

what you think?

to vegetasan (again):

Signature Size
- To keep the page loading time and visual annoyance factor down to a minimum, ensure your graphical signatures do not exceed a maximum of 12,500 pixels or 15 kilobytes file size, whichever is reached first. Alternatively, three lines of text can be used as a signature. Do not pad out your text lines with blanks lines. A line of text is defined such that it does not wrap when viewed at a resolution of 640x480. (WINAMP.COM Forum Rules)

or is the fading not going to work?.
both :/

Although, msdn offers the delay displaying the tips, maybe that can work.

But the font, font size, fore and backcolor can work with the new tooltip plugin
