Hello,

is there a way to show field descriptions by default as it was in 4.5, and 
possibly change its look?

In my opinion current mechanism fails on many levels from UX point of view:
1. You dont see description of fields right away (or ideally when you edit the 
field)
2. When you know you want to see some hint (generally users never do), you dont 
find any hint button next to the field, you have to be as persistent as to look 
to the upright corner and click the hint button there.
3. This just shows you more hint buttons, which finally show the decription 
(why so many steps?)
4. Description has really big padding, isnt aligned with field vertically and 
you can't tell if it belongs to the field above or under the message, because 
it has the equal margins and triangle is almost invisible. Actually it has even 
bigger margin from field it belongs to then from the other one.

It would be great if this was configurable, so the description is shown at all 
times, or at least hint icon next to the fields are shown at all times. 

Maybe you meant descriptions for a little different use case, we need to inform 
the users about field purpose, its meaningful values, etc, and for this current 
description mechanism is almost unusable (we won't have permanent editors, some 
of the just ocassional, always someone new, so the descriptions are important).

Btw I love new M5:)
