Using kiosk_preferences.xml

Showing or hiding tooltips (hover popups)

The display of tooltips in Kiosk is controlled by a setting in kiosk_preferences.xml. By default, tooltips are not shown.

Tip: When you emulate or deploy a project and then connect to it using NWare, by default, tooltips are displayed for the different controls. These can be switched on and off from the User Preferences dialog box. For more information, see Showing and hiding tooltips (hover popups) on controls.

To show or hide tooltips (hover popups)

1. Browse to C:\Program Files\MediaMatrix\NWare [version]\plugins\nware\xml, and then edit the file kiosk_preferences.xml.
2. Change the enable_hover setting to true to show tooltips or false to hide tooltips.

   Here is an example showing the setting that will show tooltips.

   <item name="enable_hover" value="true" />

3. Save the file and close it.

   Note: It is important not to leave the file open in the editor, even if you have saved it. If you leave the file open, when Kiosk is restarted, the setting will be automatically changed back to false.
