Edit script source (RClick on yellow monkey in status line - manage scripts - choose this script - edit - first time choose editor) - this is one you need

var bg_color = "#ffffe0"; // this is LightYellow background
var border_color = "#ffd700"; 
var font_color = "#4682b4";
var font_face = "verdana";
var font_size = "10px";

change values as you want - you can write just "black" or "white" or number (see. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_colors for color names and values)

Sorry, now I look into my source code - and find it is too far from ideal, sometimes I wrote values direct inline into function, so to change fonts size and color for title and url find and change this
(!!!! This page show code incorect, so in next code lines there are font definitions, like font-size: 13px; color: #8b0000;, but you can't see it here :) )

if (ttTitle) {ttTitle='<font>' + ttTitle+'</font>
';} 
		 else {ttTitle='';}

for title, and

tt_div.innerHTML = ttTitle+favIco + 
		'<font>' + ttUrlHost+'</font>' + urlPage+tt_err;

for link host (I made it larger than link to page)
-- experiment with font sizes and make you preferences

Hi -

I use a screen magnification program due to low vision. I have it set at 2x or 2.5x normal screen size.
So - for me to see the whole computer screen I need to pan via mouse.

For me to see a link target in the status bar (of a link at the top of a web page) - I need to turn my magnification to normal (1x), and then squint at the status bar. That was a long way of saying that the screen can't be showing the top of the web page where the link hovering takes place - and at the same time whow the bottom of the web page, where the status bar is.

So - this type of add on is extremely useful for me.
Can it be set up so I can get the script showing the link with a white foreground (vs. beige) and black letters (in bold) for better contrast? Maybe increase the size of the font?

I would be happy to email off-userscripts, however, I could not find a link with the script writer's email address. Maybe this was purposeful.

Thank you

Hmmm...the popup not showing up problem is gone.

eugenga, may I propose that you add id attributes for the favicon image, the title, and the domain? Styling them becomes tricky and other web page's CSS override the stylings.

@jfty
Your problem with hovers might be an innerHTML problem. A lot of userscripts use innerHTML a non-standard function invented by Microsoft, which has a habit of causing havoc with eventListeners like mouseovers. Just a guess, it's probably not Greasemonkey's fault, but the script authors.

Thanks for the update. Oh yeah, I'm not sure if it's a Greasemonkey bug, but when you hover over links created through Greasemonkey scripts, and when you hover on them with this script, no tooltips appear.

I found a lot of fixes for my problems regarding this script.

If tooltips are stretching to as long as the page's width, use:
width: auto !important;

If tooltip content is spaced differently per page, use:
line-height: 1.2 !important;

If tooltips are sometimes covered (excluding Flash objects, of course):
z-index: 9999999999 !important;

If tooltips stretch too long because of uber long URLs:
max-width: 50% !important;

These problems are mostly caused by in-page CSS, and this can be remedied by adding custom CSS into the script. An '!important' token would help too.

I noticed that the text inside the tooltip is cropped by 1px from the right. Is it just me or is this problem also evident in other set-ups?

I'd love this a lot a lot more if there was a delay to it, so it didn't always pop up, if that's possible I wouldn't know..

Nice update, but sometimes the tooltip stretches to the width of the page.

The tooltip should also have a z-index greater than 1000 (probably 999999?) because elements in some sites can just get on top of the tooltip. You can add this to the tooltip div's css for better text spacing consistency:

line-height: 1.2 !important;

Some sites can override the properties of the tooltip, such as alignment and font size. Using CSS, variables, and the !important token might help this.

You should also add a variable that sets whether the title and the domain should be bolded or not.

Thanks.

to jfty.009260 -
I know, I dont check is it space to show tooltip, may be make this later
I remember, that I made tooltip over cursor because of FF show title atribute under cursor overlay each other. I see your example (http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/4059), and later change my script to show title in it
The idea of my script - main attention to link host, to see on where site link follow, that's why I show favicon, grow font for host and cut off protocol (http:// or other)
and also implement decodeURIComponent() on href, it's actual for national wikipedias
So, soon will be remake )

Very nice implementation. Only a few gripes.

The tooltip seems to be too high that when you're hovering on a link that's near the top, you won't be able to see its content.

Additional features from this script (http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/4059) would also be cooler. Support for form buttons would make this the best script ever.

Overall though, it looks very nice and it's functional.
