Re: [glob2-devel] Tooltip System

[Stéphane Magnenat]

In libgag, RectangularWidget is used for widgets that use a certain area on 
screen. Right now, all widgets inherits from RectangularWidget. But we can 
imagine, for instance, a widget that could be a sound producer that is not 
rectangular. Although this may not be the cleanest architecture (it's 
inspired form GUI design already some years old now), it's simple and works. 
If we have something much better, we can change, but I'm not sure it's worth 
the work.

I think the tootip thing should go in RectangularWidget. Why not adding a 
drawTooltip in RectangularWidget, then doing a dynamic cast in 
Screen::dispatchPaint ?

Right now the tooltip is not drawn after the other widget, so it can be 
masked. How do you plan to handle this ?
