This type of infotip is way to overloaded and violates the Vista UX Guidelines [1]:
* Why are there two icons: What does the help icon add to the information?
* The alignment vetween title and text is suboptimal and leaves too much whitespace
* The text is dingens, better: "Specify the location of the Subversion binaries" or something

Also, users start to be annoyed be such, rather big popups - did you ever use ATIs Catalyst Control Center and its ballon infotips? At least ATI provides a way to disable this "help" :[

It would be better to just change the original labels to more meaningfull text, e.g. "Subversion Root Directory" vs. "Subversion installation directory".

How embarrassing, a typo in my last name: this Grag should read Graf...

Thanks for the feedback!

I'm not bothered that it does not follow Vista guidelines closely. This has to work on XP as well. Just because there is a guideline, doesn't mean that it will work in every situation, but you already knew that. That tooltip was like 2 minute's worth of work. It will look much better once I'm done with it.

I do agree that the text has to be better. Your suggestions on alternate text was very good.

I've never used anything from ATI. I'm a Nvidia man. :p But yes, turning them off is one of the design issues that I'm wrestling with. The MMC programming model is quirky in respect to several standard Winforms ways of doing things.

Thanks for the link on the Vista UX Guidelines. I'll look at it later today.
