 * I tried WordPress Tooltips for mouseover-information for the photo’s I put in
   the header of [my website](http://velovino.nl) as I was adviced in [this](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/hover-selector-over-different-photo-in-header-twenty-eleven?replies=4)
   topic.
 * But I have two problems with it:
 * 1. sometimes the mouse over shows information about a picture, when I didn’t 
   give that picture a name (I think it’s the name of the hyperlink, but in [this case](http://snag.gy/9uWxp.jpg)
   it shows, and in [this case](http://snag.gy/TT5w6.jpg) it doesn’t). So it looks
   like the picture of ‘Tour’ has the Tooltip and the picture of ‘Giro’ doesn’t.
   But I didn’t do anything different.
 * 2. I don’t like the look (to big) of the mouseover from Tooltips, I like the 
   smaller and well known mouseover (like on the picture of ‘Giro’) more. So my 
   question is: can I get rid of alle the big mouseovers and get the smaller mouseovers
   for the names of only the pictures of places I show in my headers?

 * Im a bit lost, both of those images the tooltips look the same size. The default
   tooltips like those are just generated by the browser. So for styling side of
   things they are identical is that what you want to change?
 * Now onto the tool tips you should always use the alt field for photos, to describe
   them “click here for more info on the 2014 gyro contest” for instance. It helps
   for SEO and if you get into the habit of doing its not that time consuming.

 * Hi matt94gt,
 * Thanks for your help!
 * In both pictures there’s the default mouseover, but that’s because the pictures
   are clickable. It refers to the hyperlink. In picture 1 there’s also the big 
   mouseover from the Tooltip-plugin. And I don’t want that.
 * Now I deactivated Tooltip, so I don’t have the big mouseovers anymore.
 * So far so good, but I activated Tooltip because I wanted a mouseover on the pictures
   in the header, because I want the website-visitor to see from which place in 
   the world the picture is. There’s no default mouseover on those pictures, because
   the header-pictures are not clickable with a hyperlink.
 * So how can I get a nice and small mouseover (just like the default of the browser)
   on the pictures in my header?
