Need help with tooltip

Is there a mod that lets me move where the tooltip apears? Not sure if I am calling it by the right name though, what I am talking about is when you hover your mouse over your icons like your bags and other bar icons.

There are quite a few to choose from.

I'd personally recommend TinyTip, but I'm sure you can track down some other alternatives by using WoWInterface's amazing 'Search' feature :P

Um, TinyTip can also do all of that, without requiring 13 extra libraries and with no need to learn a new psudo-language (DogTags) (Yes I know the version on WoWI also uses Ace2, but the next version is going to be stand-alone. Thrae is currently re-writing TinyTip, allthou I have no idea when the new version will be release quality)

I'd rather use something that's nice out-of-the-box and requires minimal configuration and updating, but maybe that's just me :P

I'm not trying to sart anything, but if you already use some ace addons, chance is you already have those libs. That's if you don't use embedded ones. I used tinytip for a while, then I found cowtip that had everything I wanted in one, unlike tinytip that requires me to download tintytipextras.

LitheTooltipDoctor lets you anchor it wherever you like as well.

the only configuring i did when switching from TinyTip to CowTip was to tell it where i wanted my tooltip located.

i had a little problem with CowTip at one point and switched back to TinyTip. giving up all the info CowTip was giving me that i had gotten used to made me go back and find the problem with CowTip so I could use it again. can't imagine giving it up now.

and like Dread said, if you are running many Ace2 mods, there's a good chance you are already loading those libraries anyway...and i run an almost entirely Ace2 interface, so no matter to me.
