• In Implementation section only tooltips for the existing elements will be added/replaced
• In Implementation section only the non-drag part will be implemented since the dragging functionality is still not present.
• HUD's tooltips won't be changed since a HUD refactoring is needed. Only dots at the ends of the sentences will be removed.
• A wiki page TOOLTIPS? with the design section will be created.
