Great filter module, but since I typically turn on most of the allowed Style options, I find the "tip" shown to the user when they are selecting the Input Format to be huge and ugly. I would like to see the addition of a simple option to control whether the detailed list of allowed styles should be shown.
I am using a WYSIWYG Filter along with a WYSIWYG editor because I have non-technical people editing the content of the site. Displaying all of the allowed HTML and allowed Style attributes to these people doesn't make any sense (since they don't understand any of it) and it just makes a huge clutter on the page.
I can fix this by removing the choice of Input Formats, but in my case I have a Plain Text format that I also want them to be able to choose.
As a workaround for now, I have just commented out the lines in the wysiwyg_filter.module file around lines 52-54.
I'd like to see *all* Filters add options for controlling the Tip field because this is a common issue for all Filter modules. In the spirit of trying to improve the usability of Drupal sites for our non-technical clients who just want to maintain their content, this is an area of Drupal that needs some general cleanup in my opinion.

Well, this is not particulary related to this module, but a Drupal core issue with the filter module.
Let me change the issue category to support request.
If you want to change all this stuff, I think you could do it overriding theme functions implemented by filter module. See:
