By default, Ardour will show helpful <dfn>tooltips</dfn> about
|
|
|
|
|
the purpose and use of each GUI element if you position the pointer
|
|
|
|
|
over it and hover there for a short while.
|
|
|
|
|
These little pop-up messages can be a good way to discover the
|
|
|
|
|
purpose of many aspects of the GUI.

|
|

|
|
|
|
Pop-ups can be distracting for experienced users, who may opt to
|
|
|
|
|
disable them via <kbd class="optoff">Edit > Preferences > GUI >
|
|
|
|
|
Show tooltip if mouse hovers over a control</kbd>.
