Anchor Tooltip?

I dunno, maybe I'm missing it but I've searched through EQ2's Options and I can't seem to find it:

Is there a way to anchor the tooltip window (notable the tooltips you'll get for spells on your hotbar) somewhere else?

Reason: I find the information on those spell tooltips to be extremely useful, but feel it's incredibly annoying that the tooltip itself pops-up and covers up the middle of the screen (where my toon and all the action is) as I prefer to have the hotbars under the feet of my toon (again; close to the center of the screen where all the action is).

I'd be happy as a clam if you could anchor your Tooltips up in the corner or something. Any UI's out there that do something like that? Thanks in advance!

Arise; my year old thread! ARISE!!!

So, has anybody devised a way to anchor the tooltips wherever you want, so the damn things aren't always poppin' up covering up quickbars and whatever else? Nothing more infuriating than hovering my mouse over a button, only to have some damn tooltip cover up half the damn quickbar.

Sorry, I don't think so.

In case you haven't tried there are a lot of things in the spell tooltips you can turn off though. I always turn off the spell icon ,description text and other things. I do like to see the HO icon, the power cost, and the spell effects, but the tooltip is pretty small still.

The only really big tooltip for me is the Master Strike one, since that has a huge list of effects but I don't mouse over it for very long.

Not sure why you would need to see the other buttons while hovering over a specific one, but you can either increase tooltip background transparency or increase the hotbar tooltip delay in options (Alt-O).

Otherwise you can also edit the tooltip page and set a minimum height to the window, causing it to appear high above your hotbars (if you have them at the bottom). You will have to set background transparency to 0 in the options and add a custom background (if you need it).
