Hi You can do it with PWC ( http://prototype-window.xilinus.com/. ) there is a tooltip add-on to do it. Tooltip content can be filled by ajax or url, so if you want to check if you user is logged in, it's pretty easy. And Mila76 has done a theme that looks like the PNG you sent (http:// mila76.it/js.html, move your mouse on "Ajax Tooltip") but you can do your own.
