About this addon

What it does

 

A very simple addon that hides the Game Tooltip while your in combat. There is a slash command to let you enable auras (buff/debuff) tooltips to display in combat if you prefer them to be shown.

I was surprised that there is not many addons out there that do this. The ones that I did find are just too heavily coded or bloated. I wanted something extremely small that did that job without too many bells and whistles.

This addon is extraordinarily small. It's only a few lines but it does the job 

Just install and go!

Hold SHIFT key down during combat to see tooltips!


List of frames the addon ignores:

  • Group Loot Frames
  • Quest Log Frame
  • Quest Reward Frame
  • Temporary Enchants
  • Minimap Frame



Slash Commands:

  • /xth auras --toggles the Aura (Buff/Debuff) tooltips to display in combat (ON/OFF)
  • /xth quest --toggles Quest objective tooltips (ON/OFF)
