Typical information...Player name, class, rank, guild name, health and mana bar would be nice. Compact frames, everything color coded and easy to read. Reaction based backrounds, easy positioning system...also the option to bind the tip to the mouse cursor while applying an X/Y offset.

I'm wondering if this type of tooltip addon is impossibly hard to code, because it's strange to me that nobody is interested in trying to create an Ace tooltip that isn't so hefty. TipBuddy is by far the best available right now, but it's also gigantic for a tooltip addon. I see many great addons from these forums as well as the typical Interface websites, but I'd love to see something people really want and need to be created, such as these tooltips. :)
If you think about it, there aren't really any good options anymore. You pretty much have TipBuddy or AF_Tooltip Extreme, which to me, is horrible. There are other tooltip addons, but they don't have coloring or other features that many people want.
If I had any grasp of how to code or create, I'd just do it myself. :P
I think some good tooltip addons will come out with 1.11 as we can't write dynamic tooltips at the moment, as the code changes are slated for the next patch...

This should definately spark some more intrest in coders. I mean, look at how many AddOns are already using Dynamic Frames; then again, most of those are Ace AddOns. Maybe the tooltips will have a better impact on the outside community. I guess we'll see. /shrug
