The window item is a canvas item and looks like the Firefox notification at the bottom left of
the browser-- it can overlap content of the page, but is transient (and gets out of the way of the mouse if you happen to be mousing around in that area). Firefox will put it on the bottom right to get out of the way of the mouse, but I bounce mine at the top of the patch since patches are more likely to be less wide than the browser window (which is typically full monitor width) so the tip would probably take up the whole width in the first place. Status bar would be like an extra widget (label I guess) running the full width of the window that is below the canvas, so it won't overlap the canvas but wouldn't leave after the tip goes away. -Jonathan ----- Original Message ----- > From: Mathieu Bouchard <[email protected]> > To: Jonathan Wilkes <[email protected]> > Cc: Hans-Christoph Steiner <[email protected]>; pd-list List <[email protected]> > Sent: Tuesday, March 6, 2012 6:00 PM > Subject: Re: [PD] tooltips in pd-extended 0.43 > > Le 2012-03-06 à 14:40:00, Jonathan Wilkes a écrit : > >> There are actually three possibilities-- balloon, statusbar, and window > item at the bottom of the patch (which is the current pd-extended > implementation). > > I don't know what's the difference between the last two... > > ______________________________________________________________________ > | Mathieu BOUCHARD ----- téléphone : +1.514.383.3801 ----- Montréal, QC > _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
