I've noticed it is based on the top left corner of the tooltip and it will be sized the way the tooltip that was active when you typed /nui movers. Well, thats what it seemed to me at any rate

Which corner it attaches to depends on where on the screen you place it. If you go with the right side of the display, tooltips will anchor on the right and visa versa... it's how Bliz does it.

As for the size of the mover, it's tied to the size of the tooltip, not the other way around, so the size will vary based on when you look at it.

I'm not sure if I can explain this correctly; is there any way to have the information in the tooltip grow downwards instead of upwards, or have an option for both?

Lemme try and explain if I can; when you place the tooltip on the top left of the screen, I like to have the top of the tooltip edge on the bottom edge of Fubar (or rather the bottom edge of the nUI top graphic). However, those edges do not stay "butted" together edge to edge due to the fact that every tooltip has a dif number of lines for text. See where I'm going with this? The tooltip information grows upwards.. meaning the bottom of the tooltip edge is stationary whereas the top edge of the tooltip is not because it grows upwards the more info it has.

I hope that made sense lol. At any rate, I would like the top edge of the tooltip to be the part that's stationary (tooltip grows downwards) and remains on the bottom edge of Fubar.

Edit: Havoxx... not quite what I had in mind lol. I don't want the way the information is displayed to change. I just want the top edge of the tooltip not to move.

Unfortunately, with the way that Bliz manages tooltips, that's easier said than done. I do want to improve nUI's tooltip management and leave Bliz's mess in the dust, but it's not real high on the priority list atm. I might be able to fix it then, but until then it kinda is what it is because that's how Bliz wants to do it for some reason.
