Tooltip Wrangler only positions the main tooltip where you want it.
For fade, alpha, and scaling I suggest using CowTip available http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/cowtip.aspx
For CowTip to work with TTW, disable CowTip's positioning module.
Tooltip Wrangler allows the user as much control as possible to position the tooltip where they want it.
The previous set of commands work as well.

    Resets the pattern to defaults. The defaults are as the original author intended them.

    All settings saved under the UIParent pattern are returned to the default settings. They are explained below.
<pattern> can be any frame name or simple pattern. Uppercase or Lowercase sensitivity must be followed. Wildcard is '*". 'uiparent' is different from 'UIParent'. 'Multi*Bottom*' matches MultiBarBottomLeft2, MultiBarBottomRight6, and MultiSinkBottomHike
For example:
UIParent is the main WoW window.
MultiBarBottomLeftButton3 is one of the buttons on the optional bottom bar.
Tooltip Styles:
The following, all listed above, are styles. 'mouse', 'self', 'smart', 'crosshairs', 'original', 'hide', and 'frame'. Each one, described above, is a different method to position the tooltip. Mouse attaches it to the mouse, while Self attaches the tooltip to the object being hovered over by the anchor specified.
'/ttw showname' will display frame names in the General chat window. Then you can take those and create a pattern using the matching described below, or specify them individually. They can be added by '/ttw <Pattern> add'.
'UIParent' and 'default' exist as starting patterns. UIParent is everything you can mouse over in the main window, excluding buttons, etc. 'default' covers everything else.
A simple wildcard match can be defined as '*' without the quotes
Example: MultiBarBottom*
- CURRENT INCOMPATIBILITIES::
- CURRENT INCOMPATIBILITIES::
Auctioneer - Auctioneer is forced into embedded mode to work properly with TTW.
    This is actually a problem with all addons that make use with Auctioneer sub-addon EnhTooltip
Informant - same boat as Auctioneer. Try '/informant embed on'
BottomScanner - Ditto, uses EnhTooltip.
Possessions - See Auctioneer. Possessions does not require EnhTooltip.
TOOLTIP WRANGLER SHOULD BE COMPATIBLE WITH ALL VERSIONS, PLEASE TELL ME IF IT'S NOT
NEED TRANSLATIONS
Hi Thomas
Unfortunately, I gave up writing addons. Dont have enough time to do both and I would rather play. Please feel free to continue the TTW addon by publishing your version
Sounds like great work.
Regards,
Ken
So hence, this is a continuation of Tooltip Wrangler which is no longer found on Curse.
