:info: Please include the following information:
1) Your XYplorer Version (e.g., v28.00.0801)
2) Your Windows Version (e.g., Win 11)
3) Your Screen Scaling Percentage (e.g., 125%).

:info: We strongly recommend adding your Windows Version and Screen Scaling Percentage to the Location field in your Profile or to your Signature. That way, you only have to type them once, and we won't have to search for that vital information.

Another confirmation...the tab tooltips show up in the right spot! And on Vista they're even the Vista-styled tooltips. Thanks, this helps a lot (not the styling, but the positioning).

Thanks. I just rewrote the toolbar tips because they seemed to be the next important. I'll wait with the other ones until have the hardware setup to test it myself.

That's why I asked if they could even be fixed in the first place. I was hoping it was more of a case of you had found a fix, implemented it, but missed out on a few places that needed updated. :P


I've gone through a whole bunch of the dialogs (anything to avoid doing actual work) and found some more of these disobedient tooltips. Maybe they can help in finding a pattern.

The actual date/time values when not in editing mode on the Info Pane->Properties tab.

The DOS name/type/location values on the Info Pane->Properties tab.

The file version values on the Info Pane->Version Tab

The binary file value when "Showing Info & Options" on the Info
Pane->Preview or Raw View Tabs

The Mode label on the Info Pane->Find Files->Name & Location tab.

The "Name match fuzziness" label on the Info Pane->Find Files->Options tab.

The sample fields on the Configuration->Colors tab.

The "Application loaded in ...." text on the Configuration->Report tab.

The "Press new shortcut:" text on the Customize Keyboard Shortcuts dialog.

The hyperlink to/back from other commands when a shortcut is already in use on the Customize Keyboard Shortcuts dialog.
Don, just a reminder that many of the above tooltips (and some new) still show only on the primary monitor even when XY is on another monitor.
