Display Tooltips Differently

[zimmer]

i think the tooltips are pretty important to noobs [like me] and it's kind of annoying they close sooner than some can be read with a default tooltip delay

what about a boarderless splash text window (SplashTextOn() in the AutoIt world) that appears as long as control is hovered (possibly with option to hide these)?

- or -

a status area at the bottom of the UI that displays the tip when control is hovered?

if something like this were done, perhaps the 'Basic', 'Intermediate' and 'Advanced' controls could all be combined under the 'Main' tab in groups labeled 'Basic', etc. and the tab control could be dumped, resulting in a cleaner UI IMHO

1. I've changed the timeout for the main tooltips from 5s to 30s

2. I don't think the option is available, i don't use AutoIt.

3. No need with changes mentioned in 1.

4. They used to be merged and into a single form, it was more confusing however i wouldn't mind merging 'Intermediate' and 'Advanced'
