What are they called?

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Joe,

I think they are called tooltips. They are indeed a bit small and not  
adjustable. It is possible to make your own, although it isn't very  
easy. Halfway this page http://qurl.tk/61 you will find an example,  
which shows the name, long id and id number in a tooltip when the  
pointer tool hovers over an object in Revolution.
