Tooltip instead of injecting text directly.

It would be great to have the balance/etc... in form of a tooltip/popup instead of injecting the balance text directly. Ideally (maybe with an option in the settings) it would automatically pop up when hovering over the icon.

Several people are actually asking for this feature, so I've put it on top of the to-do list. But I don't know yet when I'll be able to work on it.

For the record, this can be done nicely with the dialog HTML element http://demo.agektmr.com/dialog/

I'll be working on this soon. Would it be preferred to leave the icon as well? I often notice the extension because of the icon that appears, so removing that may be a big fault. Perhaps adding the same text that gets injected upon button click to a tooltip for the address?

[steven2358]

I was thinking of a display chooser in the options screen that lets you choose between standard behavior (as it is right now) and tooltip. The tooltip would be as you describe: upon clicking the icon it shows the info in a tooltip.

I would leave the icon for the moment being. Hiding it could be a third option, but it becomes tricky since often the BTC addresses are links and it wouldn't be clear where you'd have to click.

On second thought: the tooltip could appear on hovering over the icon, as suggested by @nicolasgramlich And if the icon is hidden, it could appear on hovering over the address. The hovering avoids one click hence is faster.

So keep the icon, and have the tooltip extend from the icon itself? I like that idea, and it would be less buggy to implement than creating options. So this would disable the "clickability" of the button as well?

At this point there are too many possibilities:

1. inline or tooltip
2. click or hover
3. show icon or not

That's 8 possible combinations. I was thinking of using a simple options screen to choose between two possibilities:

1. inline with click on icon (current behavior)
2. tooltip on hovering over icon

It shouldn't be too difficult to implement options, I have done this for other other extensions (e.g. options.html and options.js here)
