Welcome to TVPaint Community forums !

I made these yellow pop up windows go away before, but then moved to a new computer and I can't remember how. Nothing I can see in the prefs, but I know it can be done. To be clear, I am talking about the yellow info panels that pop up to tell you more about an item when the mouse hovers over it.

Its under the Help tab>Inline Help>None, Short, Full. Short, which is useful until it becomes tiresome at which point you'll know it all.

Thank you Paul. Gotta say, I think preference choices like this should be in the preferences panel rather than hidden in a menu like this. So much easier to find that way.

I see these as help popups and sources of help conventionally are found under the help tab.

I think it is a good point. I think it should be both places in the help menu and in the preferences (maybe under the display tab?)

That, or Interface. That's where I looked. It's always good to use convention in these type of things, wherever possible, to make the learning curve less steep. Things like undo not being Command Z or those unique save dialogue warnings just don't help users get comfortable as fast. They all add up to causing more confusion in what is otherwise an absolutely amazing application. It has to be said because we are here raising issues, but under that is the fact that TVPaint is fabulous, we just want it to be even better!
