It's possible that the tooltips is automatically displayed when the skin is loaded and disappears after 10 seconds ?
Thanks

No, I think it isn't, especially that ToolTips are a Windows feature, not a Rainmeter one. So, nor Rainmtere and nor a skin can't control them.xenium wrote:It's possible that the tooltips is automatically displayed when the skin is loaded and disappears after 10 seconds ?
Re: Auto tooltips display
You can however create Rainmeter-driven simulacrum tooltips.
These would be in the order of sliding skins or similar - like a dialog box that has an ActionTImer on it.
There should be "something" in these forums on that topic possibly by searching forum or google for "scripted tooltips" etc.
I have seen several examples that might help out, but since I am lazy i will just point you that way - especially since I am currently in the process of scripting some sliding "pop ups". (i dont know how yet lol)

Re: Auto tooltips display
As balala said, it cannot be done using Windows tootips. As Mor3bane explained, it can be done in other ways.
Here is an example using a "Run Once" measure and a Timer Calc.
