Translucent Interface problems

[ranathari]

I've only just noticed this hence the lack of screenshots but the translucent interface seems to be a big problem for Civ4. If you mouseover something on the interface (such as a possible unit promotion) then the mouseover-tip (on the left side of the screen) only lasts a few seconds before it is replaced with the dialogue telling you the stats for the terrain tile underneath the interface. This can be really annoying when you're trying to study a possible upgrade/promotion/worker action that you've never seen before and you keep having to mouse-over it again and again to get the dialogue box back.

The easy solution to this would be to make the interface opaque, either as an option introduced by a patch or as a mod (any ideas on how to acheive this?). I think it would give a noticable speed boost on lower-end computers too because it would reduce some of the strain on the GPU.

Good point. I'd also like to point out that sometimes the tool tips are just not there. Sometimes when I need the stats on a tech or something, it doesnt display, but the tile info does (wherever the pointer is)
