Gtk::Tooltip - delay?

Desktop Ruby-Gnome 2
1

Hi,

I like Tooltips but they are displayed almost instantly.

I want to set a custom delay, like “wait 3 seconds before displaying a
tooltip”, where the number 3 can be toggled by me or the user
eventually.

Any idea how to achieve this?

It seems that you can customize the timeout by
“gtk-tooltip-timeout” configuration in GTK+ 3:

Gtk – 3.0

For example:

require “gtk3”

“wait 3 seconds before displaying a tooltip”

Gtk::Settings.default.gtk_tooltip_timeout = 3000
window = Gtk::Window.new
window.tooltip_text = “Hello”
window.show_all
Gtk.main

Thanks,

kou
