ToolTip

From TrillWiki

The tooltip control is for the systray alerts. This control is needed in skins for Trillian 1.0 or higher.

The first part of the control sets a few options:

<settings name="topMargin" value=""/> 
<settings name="leftMargin" value=""/> 
<settings name="rightMargin" value=""/> 
<settings name="bottomMargin" value=""/> 
<settings name="alignment" value=""/> 

The margin settings set the padding from the edge of the control to the area where the text will be displayed. The alignment (of the text) can be left, right or center

You can also set a background colo(u)r, some text colo(u)rs, and the font settings:

<font source="font name" type="type" size=""/> 
<color name="background" red="" green="" blue=""/> 
<color name="foreground" red="" green="" blue=""/> 
<color name="link" red="" green="" blue=""/> 
<color name="link-click" red="" green="" blue=""/> 

Finally, you can choose to skin so icons to go with the text. These icons use the basic format:

<background name="name">
	<source name="bitmap name" left="" right="" top="" bottom=""/>
	<rect>
		<left num="" width=""/>
		<right num="" width=""/>
		<top num="" height=""/>
		<bottom num="" height=""/>
	</rect>
</background>

Where the <source> stuff is standard source and rect code.
