List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Xref: main.gmane.org gmane.emacs.devel:9596 X-Report-Spam: http://spam.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.devel:9596 I just tried: (setq tooltip-x-offset 40) (setq tooltip-y-offset -40) which moves the tips quite a distance. Would there be a better default value for these? I don't know what people would like. The best value depends both on a person's screen and on the font they are using. With my usual "10x20" font, (setq tooltip-x-offset 20) (setq tooltip-y-offset -20) looks good, but in a plain vanilla instance of Emacs, started as emacs -q --no-site-file --eval '(blink-cursor-mode 0)' (setq tooltip-x-offset 15) (setq tooltip-y-offset -15) is better. But 15 is too small a value for my "10x20" font. I suspect that many people use a 1024x768 screen with the default fonts, a white background and all that, but am not sure. I run the default fonts in the `plain vanilla' Emacs, but have a higher resolution screen. Do others on this list have a sense of what should be a good default? -- Robert J.
