  Sorry for spamming up your comments page :-\ I think the error was probably just faulty embedding the libraries into the add-on. I haven't been able to duplicate it.

  In case you're wondering, the addon using this library is "Broker_WhisperWhisper" http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/broker_whisperwhisper.aspx

  Any idea what causes this error? (edit: Unfortunately I haven't been able to reproduce this either).

  LibQTip-1.0\LibQTip-1.0.lua:906: <unnamed>:SetPoint(): <unnamed> is dependent on this

  Full error:

  Thanks. Not sure how I missed that... SetPoint did it though.

  You could anchor the second tooltip to the cell you're hovering over, using second_tooltip:SetPoint(), but without actually seeing your code that's about as much explanation I can give.

  I have a few unusual requests/comments.

  I'm trying to create a mod under the LibDataBroker to mimic WhisperFu. With FuBar outdated and WhisperFu abandoned, it seems like this would be a much worthwhile direction. To manage the dropdown menus, I've been using LibQTip. However, I'm struggling at completely duplicating the functionality.

  Previously, WhisperFu had used Dewdrop. When you hovered over a name on its drop-down list, it would then extend out a "level" and present a different drop-down list with your conversation. However, when I tried to use LibQTip, I couldn't find a way to make it so that a separate tooltip (the extended "level") would get anchored without overlapping the current tooltip (the main menu). The SmartAnchor seemed to always put them on top of each other.

  I tried a different approaching of just making 2 columns, and having the 2nd column populate based on what you were highlighting in the first column. This time, however, the GUI became jumbled due to larger whispers. The text would wrap, which would increase the height of a row, which would juke things around a bit.

  Can you think of any good approach to solving this problem?

  Thanks in advance, - Blacksen

  Thanks, with that I've already added support for the TipTac look to my and edited it in on other addons, still is there any chance you'd consider doing this on the library level? It would considerably improve visual consistency even though TipTac is a "special" case.

  You're absolutely correct - they do not. TipTac has a list of frames which it decorates on its own. However; well over a year ago I worked with Aezay to augment TipTac's API so that other frames can "plug in" to it. I use the TipTac gradient for LibQTip tips, if it is loaded, in Ackis Recipe List, Broker_Currency, Collectinator, and a few other AddOns. Here's a snippet:

  		if _G.TipTac and _G.TipTac.AddModifiedTip then
  			-- Pass true as second parameter because hooking OnHide causes C stack overflows
  			_G.TipTac:AddModifiedTip(tooltip, true)
  		end

  It's just that LibQTip tooltips don't fully pick up the theme set by tiptac, i've added screenshots to demonstrate.

  I use TipTac without issue. Why wouldn't they place nice?

  From the reply to Kuzah do I understand that LibQTip tooltips will never play nicely with tooltip addons like Tiptac?
