rdPalettes Tutorial 2.3 – Tooltips

Last Updated: 5th June 2026
Tutorial created using rdPalettes version 1.0


Tooltips for rdPalette slots can help identify what you’ve stored in that slot. There’s a few things you can control, including if you want to make them at all – this tutorial goes through a few of these.


When you create or overwrite a slot, a window opens from where you can specify what the tooltip should be for the slot. If you don’t see a window open, check the rdPalettes Settings to make sure that it’s enabled.

Now, when you hover over one of the assigned slots in the palette – their tooltip will be displayed. (Again, check the rdPalettes Settings if they’re not showing). Note that the slot number is also displayed, this can be used when you’re creating custom palette skins.

When you use one of the shortcuts to assign from a slot, the tooltip is displayed as a notification briefly.
