Hi Jon, Welcome to Timeline.
Re: roll-over bubbles -- it's definately do-able, but I haven't done it. I'd look at changing the methods in original-painter that add the "mousedown" listeners to the event divs on the bands. Change them to "mouseover". Unfortunately, the listeners are currently added throughout the painter code. So you could start your investigation with just one type of event. Eg duration events or precise instant events. If all that is needed is to change the event to mouseover, that would be interesting news. But you may need to change the listeners to have additional checks about what they should do when they are fired. Remember that you'll get a stream of mouseover events--you need to quickly discard the duplicated events since you'll want to maintain good performance. I think the UI would be very good for many people--so I encourage you to work up an example and we can then get it into the trunk. Please ask if you need further help while you're investigating this.

Hi, I've just started using the timeline, and I don't know too much javascript but I'm trying to customize it. I've changed the colors of the timeline and figured out how to use other images as markers, but I would prefer if the bubbles popped up when you rolled over the mouse rather than when you click on the event. Is that possible and relatively easy to accomplish? Thanks in advance.
