About StarTip
StarTip - Tooltips from OuterSpace
Credits:
Huge appreciation goes out to ckknight for a ton of code. If you know CowTip, StarTip is similar. Props to Shefki for LuaTexts.
And many tributes go out to the many library authors whom have written the numerous libraries StarTip's script environment is built upon.
Customization Tips
StarTip provides an environment for your scripts.. This environment provides WoW API functions such as UnitName, UnitLevel, etc... If it's not available, try _G. Also, much of LuaTexts by Shefki is included, but be aware that modifications have been made and elements either removed or added. Also be aware that how you format your return values is incompatible with Pitbull4's implementation. In StarTip you simple return a string that's already formatted.
There are many plugins available. I imagine if you're willing to write an actual Lua script that you won't mind reading code. Go into the Libs folder and click into LibScriptable-1.0. Note all the LibScriptablePlugin* elements. These are what provide StarTip's script environment with functions and other elements.
Check here for a brief tutorial.
StarTip also has LibDogTag support. Just return the dog tag from your script, and click the check mark labeled "Dog Tag" to enable this feature.
Note: If you know of a library that you want to make available in your own scripts. let me know and I'll see about writing a plugin for it.
Bug Reports and Feature Requests
StarTip will take advantage of BugGrabber if it's installed, and will attempt to disable lines that cause errors. Note that the errors are not suppressed.
Report any bugs or feature requests here: StarTip Forum.
Or create a ticket here: StarTip Ticket Tracker
You can also post on the Wowace forum thread.
If you find a bug and you want to revert to a stable version, try the upload on Wowinterface.com
Note: Please write a ticket if you have a back trace: StarTip Ticket Tracker
Note to Translators: You can easily support this project by translating some phrases at either two locations: StarTip and LibScriptable-1.0.
The comments on Curse.com have been disabled. They're too much of a hassle to keep up with and use to communicate with users.

Tagging.
--------------------
Scott Sibley:
- Provide a way for users to configure how fast the tooltip fades out. Provide a number in seconds under Settings.
- Outlines should apply now.
- Restore clamp insets when hiding the tooltip, or when entering a spell or item.
- Pass texture file to gesture widgets upon creation.
- Add line texture file.
