Show page title as tab tooltip (for 1.2.99) (2.08 KB, patch)

Description Sridhar Dhanapalan 2001-11-17 03:53:57 UTC 
How about a tooltip which pops up when the mouse cursor hovers over a tab?
The tooltip can reveal the full name of the open page, not just the
truncated version that's displayed on the tab. This would make things
consistent with the GNOME Tasklist panel applet.

nice, but i have the feeling this wont be trivial

Comment 3 Daniel Erat 2002-01-06 00:31:10 UTC 
It doesn't look like there's any way to do this in conjunction with
the current implementation of the GtkNotebook widget.

I'll leave it open in case the widget sees a rewrite for GTK+ 2.0, but
I wouldn't hold my breath. :(
Comment 4 Daniel Erat 2002-02-15 23:13:15 UTC 
Nope, there's no way to do this, as far as I can tell.

Marking WONTFIX.

Comment 7 Johannes Berg 2002-08-20 12:58:12 UTC 
You could add it to the little close button at least. I think that
should be possible (I just found out that labels don't have a tooltip,
so...)
Comment 8 Tommi Komulainen 2002-09-16 15:01:59 UTC 
Labels can't have tooltips because they don't have a GdkWindow (or
something of that sort.)

In galeon2 this is trivial, just put the tab title in an eventbox and
you can attach the tooltip in the eventbox (just like the tooltip for
the security icon is implemented.)  I would assume it's as trivial in
galeon1 as well.

There is one minor cosmetic bug in the GtkNotebook widget, though. 
The eventbox doesn't follow the slightly darker background color an
inactive tab has.  That makes the eventbox stand out quite clearly. 
I've reported this as http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=93389
