Should tooltips be shown on disabled > elements? As OSX is probably THE reference for user friendly design, I'd think they are right ... ;-) On the other hand, it would be great to have this configurable, then as a programmer I can implement an option for the users to enable/disable all tooltips AND to enable/disable tooltips on disabled buttons. BTW, in my current application I enable/disable buttons based on some other (user) inputs (as the relevant actions only make any sense for certain inputs). It would be great if I could have a tooltip on disabled buttons that actually tells the user under what conditions it will become active. For this use case it would probably be usefull to enable tooltips ONLY for disabled buttons ...
