not sure if this is a "support request" per say or just a question, but I've spent a fair amount of time searching and couldn't find an answer.

Is there anyway to remove or customize the tooltip that pops up when first hovering over a menu item? I'm a pretty fast navigator and the tooltip is almost ALWAYS covering up an important part of the menu so that i have to wait for it to timeout before i can see what i need... it's actually slowing me down in what is otherwise an OUTSTANDING feature/model!

great job on it btw....

thanks.

Attached patch removes all menu item descriptions from Administration Menu.

We are also gaining some performance from that, because all menu item descriptions are output on each page.

I wonder if those descriptions might be usable for novice Drupal users and should be able to be enabled/disabled through per-user/per-role settings.

Yeah... after I posted, I thought of that too. Probably worthwhile to be an option with a note about the performance issue. Can't wait to try out the patch... great tool btw... it made onto my list of "must install first" modules for each new site i do. Great job and thanks for the update.

Just an update... I'm running with all 3 patches on IE6, IE7, and FF2 and so far no problems at all. Everything is great... i'm lovin it!

IMHO we can commit this one and might add a settings page for Admin Menu later (doesn't exist yet) if novice users want to have item description on mouse over.

I had an additional thought about the setting... true novice users probably wont even have this menu module installed yet anyway. I would think that by the time someone learns enough about drupal to find and install this module, they would already know the menu system enough, from using the standard menu with tooltips, that they wouldnt need or want it on this one. But thats just my $0.02 worth.
