description |
In the wiki page of status menus (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CustomStatusMenuDesignGuidelines), it's stated that:
"Like other menus, status menus do not have tooltips"
Well, the former is not true. In Ubuntu, the Application, Places, System menus do have their own tooltips. So does Network Manager and the date/time applet. They all show important information in tooltips, without the need of further interaction.
The main reason for the report is Transmission losing a feature. When using the systray icon, i can easily check transfer rates by hovering the pointer above it. With the new status menu, i have to click to open the menu, one other to open the window and the third to close it again. True, this can be reduced to one by including the rates in the menu - but it's still a click.
I'm sure there are other software too, where using a tooltip is the most efficient way to show the most often needed information.
So I'm kindly asking you to reconsider your plans with(out) the tooltip. I think usability should be above dogmatic considerations like menus not having tooltips. |
