GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 743887
Image buttons should have tooltips
Last modified: 2015-02-04 20:42:31 UTC
Hi, the new UI is very nice but I have no clue what the buttons do without trying them out. All the new image buttons should have tooltips.
I think you mean the buttons on the headerbar as the overlaid buttons should already have tooltips. But, what tooltip does one give to the gear menu???
Oh you don't need a tooltip on the gear/hamburger menu, sorry. Just the fullscreen and zoom buttons on the headerbar need tooltips, I think. Then when you enter fullscreen, there is a mouseover toolbar with all sorts of buttons that should have tooltips as well.
Totally forgot about the fullscreen toolbar. I am still too used to the old GtkAction behaviour where tooltips just worked. :) The fullscreen toolbar has troubles showing some tooltips at least on my machine, however it was like that in the old versions as well. commit 0522b176ef0b2cd1b27d64378aae4fd0ecf34fa2 Author: Felix Riemann <> Date: Wed Feb 4 21:38:30 2015 +0100 EogWindow: Add tooltip to zoom button https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=743887 commit 0492b8b90a5752b49ad6852209b8620025f05f4c Author: Felix Riemann <> Date: Wed Feb 4 20:55:27 2015 +0100 EogWindow: Restore tooltips in fullscreen toolbar Reuse tooltip text from eog-3.14. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=743887 --- This problem has been fixed in the development version.
