Text description in Icons?
Text description in Icons?
(OP)
Is there an option to have a textual icon description to show in the toolbars. I know that a description appears after hovering on the icon, but on my system the description that pops up is of the previous icon I visited.
I have to move off the icon onto the graphics screen & then re-hover on an icon to get the correct description. Very annoying & frustrating.
I have an ATI Radeon 7000 card which I know is not SE certified, but cannot afford to change right now.

You have the same problem? If so what card/driver are you using?

Go ahead with your IR ... it can't hurt, but they will probably just say "Upgrade your card".

That worked for me when the icon text was creating black splodges everywhere.

Thankyou for the reminder, I have read that tip several times on the SW forum, so should have remembered. Never needed to use it for SW but it works fine for SE ... have a star

So this begs other questions ... if these files can be deleted ... why are they there & what will stop working now they have been removed (actually I just renamed them) & how the heck did you discover that trick?
RE: Text description in Icons?
This is a Microsoft Windows XP problem and how it handles OpenGL. At least for the way SE uses OpenGL.
The real fix is to not delete the manifest file (which gets rid of all the XP bells and whistles for SE and could also effect your v15 quickpick), but to call MS and ask for the OpenGL patch. They don't have it available for download, but will give it to you for free when you call.
Expect this fix to be in SP2 for Win XP.

SE v17 introduces some changes to the GUI, one of which is the optional addition of text to go along with the icons for each command.

Windows XP Service Pack 2 also does fix the tooltips problem without deleting the files (at least for V14/V15)
