What happened?

No bug happened!

I wanted to bring an "issue" requesting that we have per-theme position options in the menu_tip plugin (or allow setting the position in the "theme" plugin and set menu_tip position setting to "theme" with failover to our default values).

Something like this:

Then in the theme plugin, allow specifying that for file 1, the menu_tip position is 31,12,blue or something like that. Maybe even expand "file" into a list of dicts with "path", "menu_tip_X", "menu_tip_Y", "menu_tip_color" as the keys.

Why? Because different themes have different locations that work and decidedly don't work for rendering tooltips. If we could set per-theme positions it would really help.

It would be nice if we could borrow existing-but-unused label locations (like the commonly used progress_bar) somehow. Not sure how that would work exactly.
