The (blue in my case) tooltip with just the value is still visible, not sure if with the new tooltip this would be somewhat redundant?
The blue indicator is up while changing the value. The tooltip is only available when hovering. It goes away the moment you click. They are both needed unless we go with something more complicated.
the large tooltip is often placed in ways that my (slightly larger than average) mouse cursor arrow covers parts of it... The placement of the tooltips (in general) seems to be calculated based on widget position and cursor so I'm not really sure if this can be mitigated or even calculated.
It looks like it can be overridden if we intercept the ToolTip event and make a QToolTip on our own. QToolTip offers the ability to specify the position. Qt will still display it at a fixed offset to that position, but we can fudge the numbers to get whatever offsets we want.
It's a lot of work, though. I don't see a simple way to do this in the API. QWidget lets you setToolTip() and setToolTipDuration() but no setToolTipOffset(). Even better would be a more global setting that can be in the preferences and affect all of Qt without needing to change any existing code.
