is it possible to add a tooltip to a custom button, we have the ability to add button for custom tasks and it would be nice for the user to know what the button does with the tooltip, altho part of the fun with new skins is pressing the buttons to see wot it does ;)
also no tooltips on the sliderbits with relation to the sliders, not sure if thats a bug or feature (missing?) ;)

Done! I've added a new layer keyword called 'tooltip'. You use it as follows:
tooltip(Make Coffee)

You can add this keyword to almost any layer you want. Xion will create a tooltip for it. It doesn't even have to be on a button, it can be on a static layer too. I wouldn't go overboard with it, but you will now have the power to add tooltips anywhere you like :)

I will include release notes with the next Beta build so you can see what is new. I was hoping to release a Beta build soon and continue working on adding new feautures and fixing bugs.

Now you just have to figure out what soon means ;)

Cliff :)
