Just The Tip

Just The Tip is a simple, yet highly customizable tooltip addon that makes the tooltip follow the mouse. I created this addon because the other tooltip addons I tried don't allow you to position the tooltip underneath the cursor.

Just The Tip

Just The Tip positions the tooltip at your cursor instead of in a fixed location. Highly customizable; position, anchor, offset, fade delay etc. can all be modified using the commands below.

How to use it

Type /jtt for the command list.

Command What it does
/jtt on Enables cursor tracking
/jtt off Disables cursor tracking
/jtt toggle Toggle cursor tracking on and off
/jtt offset <x> <y> Offset from the current anchor. Positive x is right, positive y is up. Default 0, 0
/jtt anchor <position> Where the tooltip sits relative to the cursor. Default bottom right
/jtt origin <position> Which point on the cursor the offset is measured from. Default is bottom right
/jtt scale <10-500> Tooltip scale, as a percentage of the current UI scale. Default 100
/jtt flip <x|y|xy|off> Configure x, y or both axis to flip the position/offset/anchor of the tooltip when you cross the halfway point on the screen . Default off
/jtt cursor <32|48|64|96|128|auto> Cursor size used to place the origin. auto follows the game's Cursor Size option
/jtt fade <seconds> How long, in seconds, the tooltip stays fully visible after you stop hovering before starting to fade out. Default 0. From 0 to 5
/jtt <command> reset Restore a specific setting. For example /jtt fade reset
/jtt reset all Restore all settings to default and turn the addon back on

Valid positions:

  • top left
  • top middle
  • top right
  • middle left
  • center
  • middle right
  • bottom left
  • bottom middle
  • bottom right

Note: Positions can be typed with or without a space: bottom right and bottomright both work.

/jtt fade applies when the game fades a tooltip, such as a world object. Bag, spell, and button tooltips still disappear immediately, because those are hidden instead of faded.

Why I made it

For some reason, all the tooltip addons I could find would place the tooltip above the cursor. I find this pretty distracting, so I made this addon so that I could position the tooltip exactly where I wanted, and have it bevave exactly as I liked.
