Hello there! This script actually works, but... I think it would be even greater if we "changed" it a tiny bit so it can:
The hard part now is:
Or does there exist a simpler way of doing this? Still I don't think much can beat this great mouse over tooltip script...
- co-exist with the "new" version of it
- co-exist with other versions of it
The hard part now is:
- How do we hack the code so it will use "images"
- How and where do we define the images in the code.

# If the item you want a tooltip on looks like this:
# imagebutton:
# idle "placeholder"
# Then:
# imagebutton:
# idle "placeholder" tooltip "Now you see me"
# add mousetooltip
#
# You don't need to add "add mousetooltip" under each box, just add it when all
# is done. See more examples down in the document.
