Hmm. Now that I've installed Win 7 SP 1 on my office PC (32 bits) the info message is only placed incorrectly when the tray icon is set to auto hide. Which is quite understandable and logical I suppose.
This weekend I can try it on my home PC (64 bits).

In Vista x86 and 7 x86, when the tray icon is hidden, the tooltip appears near the mouse cursor. When it is showing, the tooltip appears near the tray icon.
In 7 x64, the tooltip always appears near the mouse cursor.
Don't know about Vista x64 - I don't have it.

I think this is new : I understood that before in 7, tooltip was never near the tray icon, even when it was visible.

This is probably normal. But we must add a default : if trayicon not visible, show at lower right corner of the screen.
> In 7 x64, the tooltip always appears near the mouse cursor.
OK, this is an important information. Thanks.

Since there no easy solution to this problem, I decided to change slightly the behavior. I abandoned the balloon which points to the icon and replaced by the following position :
On the right of the screen, just above the system tray.
Like this, it should word in all Windows versions.

I would only use that approach as last resort.
For the systems on which the balloon works correctly it worked better as it was.
Maybe it is a 64 bit problem. In that case, you could try to check for this, and when the system is indeed 64 bits, position the balloon in the bottom right, like you said.

BTW: I noticed it on Windows 7.
On Vista it seems to work correctly.
And on XP as well, it works correctly.
I will ask the author of the TT extension.
Can you tell me if it is on Windows 7 32 bits or 64 ?
Both.

I managed to reproduce it on Vista (32 bits).
When the Unichars tray icon is hidden, the popup appears near the mouse cursor.
I just testen this in 1.3.0 this morning on my home PC (Win 7, x64). Although I also installed SP1 here, I still experience this minor problem.
The author of tt.ahk says it is fixed. Fix included in 1.3.4. Please test again when this version will be released, thanks.
The situation is still the same.
In Vista x86 and 7 x86, when the tray icon is hidden, the tooltip appears near the mouse cursor. When it is showing, the tooltip appears near the tray icon.
In 7 x64, the tooltip always appears near the mouse cursor.

It works in 1.4.8 on Win 7 x64.
