</div>you can take a look at the widget explorer in kde-<br>
workspace/libs/plasmagenericshell/widgetsexplorer/package/contents/ui<br>
<br>
it has a thing that behaves like a tooltip even if with custom content<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Will do that. </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

</div>i wonder if there should also be an option to put a generic Component in it<br>
besides the usual tooltipdata properties, but is probably overkill right now<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I was thinking of making a custom component in C++ and exposing that one as a QML component. For example "ToolTipPrivateData" which just holds all the data and emits signals when something is changing. Right now that's not really required but would make it nicer :) Not quite sure yet if i'm going to do that.</div>

</div>how are you positioning it? dialog.popupPosition? you should position it<br>
before actually showing it<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Ehh, how do i use that one? I can't give a position with that function (it returns a position). </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

</div>shouldn't have any, it should use whatever width/height the main item has<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>It certainly has something..

</div>yeah, i think bypasswindowmanagerhints is necessary right now :/<br>
