Is this still working in newer electron?

[axfelix]

I just updated a project from Electron 3.x to 9.x, and the tooltips don't seem to be triggering anymore...

@oltreseba I just found your fork but it doesn't appear to be working either... testing in 9.1.0.

We have forked quite a while ago and stopped using it after a while.

If it's possible for your application I would totally suggest to use tooltip inside the renderer window itself and not in other windows (like this extension does). You will not be able to place them outside your main windows, but you will have way way way less issues (latency, having additional renderer processes, difficulties in placing them, difficult to show two tips in the same time, etc). For doing this you can use any js tooltip plugin out there.

yes, but at the cost of 20mb ram per tooltip

the developer should be using something native, such as Qt with C++ bindings

I am question also this, now does this still work now for 2023? this is nice plugin btw, i like the idea that the tooltip will show outside, and overlap main window, but i am not sure you guys talk about the performance issue

[oltreseba]

Basically, a new entire window is created (and i think reused) for each tooltip, so ram usage and latency is quite high, given that all of this is "just" to have tooltips that go outside of the window.
