Hello everyone,
I have opened the gconf-editor, searched for and disabled all of the tooltip checkboxes for the mint menu and panel with no effect. Is there an easy way to disable the tooltips?
Also, I would recommend not having them on by default in later versions- they just repeat the same information in the "application comments" and get in the way of selecting another menu item.
Thanks!
dave

Aldora, if you want to disable all tooltips, open /usr/share/themes/theme_name/gtk-2.0/gtkrc and add to beginning of the file
For all themes you are using, and then re-set it in the Appearance properties.
Code: Select all
gtk-enable-tooltips = 0

Actually, if you completely disable tooltips, you get problems with scrolling in nautilus for some reason. So, a way to avoid it is not to disable tooltips but increase the delay time of its appearance with gtk-tooltip-timeout (in milliseconds). Also there is no need to edit every theme's gtkrc file, you can put «.gtkrc-2.0» file with that line in your home directory instead.
