The hover text, is the text that appears by default when you hover over/change a control in NWare or Kiosk, eg. "Mute 1 : off". It may be desirable to turn this text off, particularly for touch screen Kiosk PC's.
To do this, you need the following line in your preferences XML file:

. This needs to live with the other then .
The preferences XML file is located in
plugins\nware\xml
this is called either
preferences.xml
for NWare or for Kiosk it's
kiosk_preferences.xml
I'd suggest making a copy of any XML files before you start modifying them, so you always have an original to revert back to.
Good luck!

Is this different to User Preferences/"Enable hover popups"?
Or does this select/deselect set the same variable?

Hi Phil,
Yes, the option in User Preferences is changing this same parameter within the XML file, so that would be the preffered method for changing the setting in NWare. However, this setting does not affect the Kiosk application and as far as I am aware the XML tweak is the only way to change this behaviour.

Ahh, good point.
I did a bit of playing with this and Kiosk, and got inconclusive results (then got sidetracked onto something else that was screaming....)
It
seemed
that the preference in the project did affect Kiosk, but not sure now.

Thanks for the answers. To be honest, I'm also experiencing this problem and didn't know how to fix it. Your suggestion making a copy of any XML files before you start modifying them is really helpful! But I believe that all this can be hurtful for our nature
