I like the functionality that when you hook the mousepointer over a dot a small box pops up and displays information in the form column:color:duration.
I (and also a lot of people in my company) would like to see this also for the hostname links. If a DESCR tag is in the bb-hosts file for this host it's content should be displayed in the little pop-up box. This way it's not necessary to view the info column each time to get this info.
OK, thanks to Marco Schoemaker's hint on how to do this in HTML, I've cooked up a patch that should do this.
Unlike Marco, I don't want to introduce yet another special tag for the tooltip. It will display the COMMENT text, or the DESCR text if there's no COMMENT defined. If neither exists, it will just display the hostname.
The attached patch is based on the current snapshot, but modified so it should work with Hobbit 4.2.0. Those on the bleeding edge version will have to wait for tonights snapshot.
