[Kstars-devel] Review Request-Display of facts

[Rafal Kulaga]

I agree with Daniel. We should keep HUD as simple as possible -
certainly it's not a place for information like these. Apart from
that, all "Tip of the day" windows are usually disabled by users,
because they're simply not useful at all. It's better to work on clear
context help and dialogs instead.

As it comes to the tooltip patch, I don't see how it might help.
Everything with this toolbar is perfectly clear and simple, at least
for me.

Cheers,
Rafal
