SetToolTip

[glikar]

I started using DockigFrames 10 years ago. It's beautiful, and I especially love the externalized frame. The only issue I have is that tooltips won't show after setting a toolbar on a docking frame. If I make the frame not visible, then visible again, the icon tooltips show on hover.
Is there anything that pops into mind that could be the cause? Thanks for the fantastic library, by the way!

Your tooltip most likely is copied by GlassedPane.createToolTip. Tooltips are copied because some transparent Component are painted over the frames (and thus over your toolbar too).

I did not do any debugging, but I would start by checking if GlassedPane.over is actually the Component which should provide your tooltip.

Next question would be: what exactly does "setting a toolbar on a docking frame" mean? You do this with some kind of drag&drop operation?

Lol, no, I was being inarticulate. I wrote the application years ago but was unable to complete it fully. Now that I have some spare time, I'm trying to bring it back to life, along with my programming skills.
Thanks for the suggestion, although I didn't use the Glass library.

GlassedPane is not from the Glass library - it's on of the Components that's just placed all over the place to deal with MouseEvents. Well, it's just the first idea that went through my mind, could be a red herring :-)

A piece of code to reproduce the issue would be nice... ;-)

And knowing which JRE and OS you are using might also help.

[glikar]

Okay, will do. I try and put together the relevant snips. The OS is Linux, and I've tried different JRE's. Now that you mention it, the ToolTips worked the first time when I compiled it in VS rather than Intellij. I'll look into that also. Thanks!

Found it. I screwed up the ToolTip Delay. I had it set to a ridiculously long time.
Thanks for your time and patience!

To clarify, the first chart loaded used the default setting I set up. The following chart used a tooltip delay setting in a user menu option.

As an aside, has anyone published a dark theme?

[Benoker]

Hehe, good to see you solved the issue :-)

I know some people did play around with colors, but as far as I know nothing ever was officially published.

All the colors can be changed, they are all stored in an interface called ColorScheme (the tutorial app should contain some examples, also the guide http://www.docking-frames.org/dockingFrames_v1.1.2/core.pdf contains some information at page 46)
