CowTip is a customizeable, tag-based tooltip addon. It is based on Rock and other libraries of the community. It is currently in beta.
CowTip isn't meant to be the smallest addon humanly possible, but it will be clean, configurable, and have the same polish I afford my other addons.
i am having an issue with self casting. every time i hold alt+click on a spell to self cast it to myself (without targeting myself), i get an error from cowtip. please fix this problem. ty

Hi!
I love your addon, but please support WoWMatrix.
Since Curse and WoWInterface locked them out, manually updating mixed ACE, Curse and WoWInterface addons is a real big pain :(
Still having the memory issue when using cowtip during high activity encounters, like raiding. During a boss fight, my memory usage will spike to upwards of 120 mb
Disabling only cowtip brings my memory usage down to 30-40 mb during the highest intensity fights. Tried the code edit below, but still won't work.
First, Thank you for this addon of awsomeness It truly grazes my pastures. I use it constantly to get tool tips out of the way of my re-organized screen and can't live without it. Second, I was wondering if you could host this addon on the WowMatrix site or give them permission via GPL to keep a copy on their servers. I use WowMatrix to keep my addons up to date and they are unable to pull the latest version from the curse site. Thank you again for everything you do for the WoW community.

Cowtip still winds up messing up my other addons during raids, before completely disconnecting me. It would be bad enough as a dps class, but as a healer, I simply can't afford this. I love this addon and I'm hoping you'll fix it, as I've been forced to delete it from my collection of addons until you do. :(
Just something I've noticed; my range box with DBM sometimes gets skinned in the same fashion as my tooltip that I've set with cowtip, however this doesn't happen all the time. Infact it's quite rare that it does skin the range frame. I was wondering if there is anyway to make it skin the range check each time, as it fits perfectly with my ui. I'm not sure if I should be asking here or on the dmb site but I'll try anyway.
At least, this worked for me...

Thank you for your hard work! real good job!
i have the french client.
Disabling only cowtip brings my memory usage down to 30-40 mb during the highest intensity fights. Tried the code edit below, but still won't work.
Still a problem for me though, as the [Zone] tag doesn't work for the french client.
Any chance of adding the same icon feature for items and such like http://s.wowinterface.com/preview/pvw24852.jpg ?
