Good idea!!!

Well, considering jquery libraries, one nice implementation is called Qtip. This is a tooltip plugin highly customizable and so which needs a few time for grasping all the possibilities, but one can find some of the main examples on the site of the author.

I think this particular implementation can be achieved easily with Xara without JQuery. But thanks for the first suggestion.

Could you share your idea about it ?

Sure, here is a sample.

Ok, that's convincing. Thanks.

This is actually a good example of what might be accieved using javascript/jQuery.

If you in Xara choose to add a text tooltip to an object that will be implemented automatically by Xara to a SPAN tag with a TITLEattribute. Now excuse me for being a little technical, but using the brilliant selector engine of jQuery you can select all such elements and apply - for instance the mentioned tooltip plugin, and thereby get well, another tooltip type.

Here is the selector (for the technical minded ):
$('span[title!=""]')
That will return all standard tooltips on the page, and from there it is easy using jQuery plug-ins to apply some behavior to each of the elements.

Don't worrie if you are a graphical nerd - this coding related thread will soon relocate to some other place What I however hope to deliver to this forum are some easy-to-use new features for the program which we all love to use!

Here is the first code - and at the same time the place to share the code in this project.
It should be saved along with "roe.js" and included (manually/placeholder) into a HTML file generated by Xara. It does nothing much, just locks the calls made from Xara. Oh and I have tried to turn off all the "document.onmousemove" eventhandler... Here goes!

Why have you disabled onmousemove handler?
