You will find bootskins primarily here but I'm hoping to soon get involved in other types of windows customization, check back often for new skins!
Is it possible to add text captions that appear next to the titlebar button during mouseover?

Just a question: Is it possible to add text captions that appear next to the titlebar button during mouseover?

I have added some generic looking action buttons to my windowframes in a windowblind skin that I'm working on and was wondering if it's possible to add a text caption that appears during a mouseover event. The buttons by themselves are not descriptive and it would be cool to have some sort of text that appears indicating what the button's function is.

Similar to holding your mouse cursor over the windows start button and it produces a text caption that says "Click here to begin". Something like that would be great.

Does windowblinds/skinstudio possess this capability?

I have a work around if this functionality doesn't exist: I was thinking that if this isn't possible, I could add an image overlay which would contain the button image and the text caption.

Any info/tips related to this would be greatly appreciated, thanks for the help!!!

I suspect an image overlay for the mouseover state would be the way to go. Not sure that tooltip functionality can be added, though someone more experienced than me might know.
