-
-******
-Tipper - shows a tooltip when you hover the mouse over a contact in your contact list
-******
-
-Most options are self explanitory...except for 'items' and 'substitutions'.
-
-If you want to set this up yourself, you need a moderate understanding of the miranda database (profile) and the Database Editor++ plugin.
-
-The easiest way is to copy the autoexec_tipper.ini file (in the same folder as this document) to the miranda program folder and restart - 
-it will (normally) ask you if you wish to import the settings. If you click yes, you will find several examples in your Tipper options that 
-will get you started. You can also ask your nerdier miranda-using buddies to create such a file for you, if they have a good setup.
-
-To get an idea of how tipper works, try playing with items. Items are simply a label and some text (the value). Try adding some items. Once
-you've played around a bit you'll get the idea, and then you'll understand the need for substitutions.
-
-Substitutions allow you to put useful, contact related, information into the label or value of an item. To create a substitution you need
-to have a relatively good understanding of the miranda database - a few hours browsing with dbeditor++ will give you a clue. You create a 
-substitution by specifying a name and the database module and setting names for the data it will contain. You can then put this data into
-any item (label or value) by enclosing the substitution name in '%' symbols. Many database values are not terribly friendly to humans, so
-when creating a substitution, you can also choose a translation which will convert the value into a more readable format.
-
-To get technical:
-
-A 'Substitution' is a name for a database value, represented according to a particular translation. When creating new substitutions, you 
-specify its name, the database module (or the contact's protocol module) and the setting name. Then you select a translation from the drop 
-down list. This transformation will convert the database value into a string.
-
-An 'Item' is just a label and a value. However, any substitution names (surrounded by % symbols) occuring in either a label or a value will 
-be substituted as described above. If you want to put a % symbol in a value or label, use '%%' instead.
-
-A good example is representing a contacts status (as 'Online' etc) in the tooltip. 
-
-First, create a substitution called 'status' (without quotes) - the module will be the contact's protocol module, the setting name will be 
-'Status' (without quotes - note the capital 'S') and the translation will be 'WORD to status description' (since this value is a WORD value 
-in the database). Then, create an item and specify 'Status:' for the label and '%status%' for the value. Done.
-
-There is also a built in substitution, called a 'raw' substitution. It is not listed in the substitution list, but it is available in all 
-labels and values. It's format is:
-
-%raw:<db module>/<db setting>%
-
-No translation is performed on 'raw' values. For example, to display a contact's contact list group in the tooltip, add an item with the 
-label 'Group:' and the value '%raw:CList/Group%'. If you do not specify a module name (you must still include the '/'), the contact's 
-protocol module will be used. This is ultimately just a shortcut for the 'null translation'.
-
-There are also 'system' substitutions (thanks to y_b), also not listed but available in all item labels and values, with the following 
-format:
-
-%sys:<name>%
-
-Were name can be any of the following:
-
-uid                     - contact's unique identifier
-uidname                 - name of unique identifier
-proto                   - contact's protocol
-time                    - contact's time
-status_msg              - contact's status message
-last_msg                - last message received from contact
-last_msg_time           - time of last received message
-last_msg_date           - date of last received message
-last_msg_reltime        - relative time of last message (i.e. time between then and now)
-meta_subname		- nickname of active subcontact (for metacontacts)
-meta_subuid             - unique id of active subcontact
-meta_subproto		- active subcontact protocol (also for metacontacts)
-
-If a substitution's value results in no text (or nothing but spaces, tabs, newlines, and carriage returns), the whole item containing that 
-substitution will not be displayed. If there is an error during the substitution process (e.g. a substitution name that does not exist, an odd 
-number of % symbols, etc) then the value of that substitution will be "*". Note that you can use double-percent ("%%") in plain text (not in 
-substitutions) if you want an actual percent symbol.
-
-ADVANCED
---------
-
-Alternative Text:
-In any substitution you can have 'alternate text' to use if the substitution fails (missing db value, etc). The format is:
-
-%x|y%
-
-where x is the original substitution and y is the alternative text. Note that you can use '|' in the alternative text, since it uses the 
-*first* occurence to determine where the alternative text begins. Normally if any substitution results in no value, the entire item will not 
-be displayed - but if you omit the 'y' value above (i.e. have nothing for the 'alternate' text) then the substitution process will continue. 
-As an example, consider the following item value:
-
-%raw:/FirstName|% %raw:/LastName%
-
-The above value will display the contact's first name if it's available, and then their last name - but if the last name is not available, the
-entire item will not be displayed.
-
-Specific protocol:
-If you end a substitution with '^' and a protocol name, then that substitution will only be displayed if the contact belongs to the given 
-protocol:
-
-%x^y%
-
-where y is the protocol name. If you want to display an item for every protocol *except* one, use
-
-%x^!y%
-
-If you use alternative text and specific protocol together, specify the alternative text first:
-
-%x|y^z%
-
-In such substitutions you can use a '^' symbol in the alternative text, as Tipper will take the *last* '^' symbol as the start of the protocol 
-specifier. If you want to use a '^' symbol in alternative text without a specific protocol, just append a '^' to the end of the descriptor, 
-e.g.:
-
-%x|y^%

-'HIDDEN' DB SETTINGS
---------------------
-
-Due to space constraints in the options page and my own laziness, the following settings are only accessible via the database (i.e. using dbeditor++):
-
-DWORD Tipper/MinHeight
-DWORD Tipper/MinWidth
-WORD Tipper/AvatarPadding
-WORD Tipper/TextPadding		(space between lines of text)
-DWORD Tipper/SidebarWidth
-BYTE Tipper/MouseTollerance  (distance mouse can move while tip is shown, before it is automatically closed, in pixels)
-BYTE Tipper/AvatarRoundCorners
-
-
-********************
-'Variables' support:
-********************
-
-This plugin supports the variables plugin by UnregistereD (http://www.cs.vu.nl/~pboon/variables.zip)
-
-Be sure to use the unicode version!
-
-All text in 'Items' - that is, labels and values, will be processed by variables BEFORE Tipper substitutions are applied.
-
-
-Good luck and have fun.
