I like the new tooltips, but perfect would be the old icon zoom FX, followed by 
the Tooltip if the mouse hovers a bit longer over the icon (iconzoom on instant, 
tooltip after 2 seconds delay, or so)

And: If the icon-zoom FX would be optional, and e.g. turned off by default, 
there wouldn't be any usability issues left with it; Of course, if the code was 
*that* messy, it would have to be rewritten from scratch, that's probably the 
main reason not to do it...

Have a nice week!
