Mark Shuttleworth's comment on this issue on AskMark in OpenWeek Lucid:- <akgraner> <bilalakhtar> QUESTION: What are your opinions on Bug 527458 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/indicator-application/+bug/527458 ) and the decision to deprecate tooltips from the panel indicators? Will tooltips come back in Maverick? <sabdfl> i've commented on the bug, for anyone who wants to read the thread there <sabdfl> in short, i think tooltips are most often a disaster <sabdfl> because there is a slot there, people put stuff in it <sabdfl> even if they don't have to <sabdfl> so we end up with a whole lot of really crap and useless tooltips that just clutter up the interface <sabdfl> and because they have tooltips, they don't do the extra work to think through the most important info to convey in the underlying asset <sabdfl> because hey, you can just stuff all the detail in a tooltip! <sabdfl> i've done it myself, in the past <sabdfl> i'm ashamed <sabdfl> but i'm cured <sabdfl> and so no, i don't think the tooltips will come back <sabdfl> but it's a 90% certainty for me, perhaps someone will convince me otherwise <sabdfl> but they'd have to convince a few other people, who might convince me :-)
