What type of tooltip is this? And how can i do it?
If you set a tooltip on something ( for example a trayicon ) it will look like this:

Attachment 5422

But if you go on Ubuntu at the clock ( and every tooltip on ubuntu general) that will be shown:

Attachment 5423

So is this a different type of a tooltip or something?

P.s
I am setting the tooltip with this:
Code:

ui->Button->setToolTip("Start Operation");

Tray icons are treated specially in Unix systems as they are a bit "fake" so I can understand the tooltip for them may look different from other tooltips. But there is nothing you can do about it.

I don't think so... Even if you leave the pointer on a program ( like Calculator on Ubuntu ) it will still be transperant and all that... There must be something... :/

It isn't NotifyOSD.. What i am saying is when you point somewhere ( for example an button ) a tip will be shown... NotifyOSD is just an Notify...

So what's exactly the problem? Could you explain it with words instead of saying that two pictures differ?

If we didn't know the answer, we just wouldn't reply.

But we have replied, and given you the answer.

The screen shot you have shown of Ubuntu is not a tool tip.

Let me rephrase that in case you mis-understood: The second picture you have posted is not a tool tip.

I don't know what you are asking for. I don't know what you are getting now and what you want to get instead and why using QWidget::setToolTip() doesn't work the way you would want it to work. I don't know what "exactly like ubuntu one" means because the looks of a tooltip depends on the style you are using and possibly the desktop manager you are using. I'm tired of extracting information from people who think saying "I'm getting something else than I'd like to be getting" is a deep description of their problem and when they are asked for more information they keep repeating what they had already said.
