How can I fix the problem where I can't see tooltip for ppl thats not close to me? If i mouse over them nothing shows up, niether in pitbull or grid.
I've been wondering about the same thing. And I don't even use pitbull or grid. Perhaps a more general problem within WoW or a change that has affected most addons?
I'm new to cowtip, so i tried to configure it a bit, but I'm having problems with the "Zone" tag. I tried [Zone], [if IsPlayer then Zone], ... Whichever tag i use, it doesn't display the location of the characters i'm in group with.
Could someone help me with this?

The Zone tag will not show anything if the unit is in the same zone as you. I find the default tooltip is already frighteningly crowded, so automatic omissions like this are welcome.
I know that, jokeyrhyme... But it doesn't show anything, even when the unit i mouseover is not in the same zone (in my screenshot, i was at naxxramas, and the unit was at orgrimmar...).
I tried erasing cowtip to install it again, using an older version of the addon, etc., but still got no results. I'm wondering if i could miss something not directly included in the addon (library, etc.)? I tried desactivating all other addons already, with no change, so it doesn't seem to be a conflict with another of my addons.
Yeah, that's totally wierd. Tried installing the latest version of LibDogTag-3.0 separately? Does the vanilla tooltip show the zone (I can't remember if it's supposed to)?
I installed LibDogTag-3.0 and LibDogTag-Unit-3.0, with still no result. I found in the Cowtip folder a Libs folder, already containing those libs. I thought it could be a bad version of them, so i changed them with latest versions of the libs (WoW-3.0-release-2), but still no result.
Vanilla tooltip shows the zone, in fact, if i deactivate the line's text in cowtip (the spot you check just above the dogtag help), zone is then displayed (but with vanilla tooltip).
Edit: Forgot to mention, i use the french version of the game. May the bug come from the fact the name of the zone is not in english?
I finally got around to customizing my CowTip, but bumped into two things, the first of which I'm not even sure is possible and the other is just a small annoyance that I can live with.
[Level:DifficultyColor] [Race] [Class:ClassColor]
First off: This is my second line in the tooltip, and I'd like to have the [Race] tag coloured blue/pink (like the mage and paladin class colors) based on whether the player unit is male/female, but I can't figure out how to do it, if it's possible at all. I seem to remember being able to do it before, but it might very well have been another addon.
[PowerColor (if HasMP then TypePower ':' end)] [PowerColor (if HasMP then FractionalMP:Short ' ' PercentMP:Percent:Paren end)]
^^^ left ^^^ ^^^ right ^^^
Secondly: The above is my next to last line, and it works perfectly - except when I point it at mobs/NPCs classified as warriors, where it leaves me with an empty line, like so. Is there any way I can get rid of that and still keep my power line for the other mob/npc classes?
Jakiri, I had the exact same problem. Color tags by themselves will always yield empty lines when there's nothing to display.
The solution is to say something like:
[if HasMP then (TypePower ':'):PowerColor end] [if HasMP then FractionalMP:Short:PowerColor ' ' PercentMP:Percent:Paren:PowerColor end]
^^^ left ^^^ ^^^ right ^^^
I'm not quite sure what I've suggested for the left side will work, but you see what I'm trying to get at. Use color tags as part of other tags (not by themselves) and you won't see empty lines.

I'm using the short hand if-then (?) else (!) form. Is HostileColor what you wanted? Or were you after a threat color or something? In case you didn't know, there's also the Name tag that won't show the server.
The NameRealm tag only shows realm name when I'm in a battleground or arena, but I just realized I hardly ever do PvP so I'll just reduce it to Name. :9
How would I make the header text the same size as all the other text? It is currently a few point sizes larger, I would like to adjust the size of the header text.

I want to add you can see HPs tho if you disable the "Health" module of Cowtip, but then, you can't see players HPs.
Could someone help me with this?
I've got this

You can find a much simpler setup that I use in this WowAce forum topic.

I do that like so:
There is probably a better way to do this though.
How do I edit this line to show aggro color on mobs and keep showing class color on players? :x
(Eek, double post.)
Try this:
I'm using the short hand if-then (?) else (!) form. Is HostileColor what you wanted? Or were you after a threat color or something? In case you didn't know, there's also the Name tag that won't show the server.
Thanks again for your help!
