Tooltips: Specs

Updated: Feb 26, 2026
Specifications for tooltip interaction behavior, including display timing and fade transitions.

Interaction behavior

Display the tooltip when the user raycasts over a UI element or component, and continuously display the tooltip as long as the user raycasts over the element.
  • Timing: Display the tooltip for 0.5 seconds after the user hovers off the element. If the user takes another action before that time ends, the tooltip will disappear.
  • Transitions: Tooltips use a fade transition pattern to enter and exit the screen.
