Ordinary tool tips show a help text if the mouse cursor stays over a toolbar button. The WYSIWYG tool tips show a translucent preview of the dialog to appear, when clicking the button. A prototype was build for demonstration purpose.

Within the concept of WYSIWYG tool tips a translucent preview of the application should appear on the screen, exactly how the application will look like when double-clicking the icon. Also for this case a prototype was build.
