Reformat Item Description (non-intrusive)
Reformat Item Description (non-intrusive)
This extension reformats item description text so the keys in key: value lines align, improving readability.
Unlike some similar addons, this one is non-intrusive and does not modify the original description code.
Hold the Alt key while hovering over an item to view the original, unformatted description.
Notes
- This plugin increases the item tooltip width by 50%.
- Properties with keys longer than 25 characters are not reformatted, to prevent excessive wrapping.

Me likey
Thanks ! I started playing quite recently and was looking for exactly that, a way to make tooltips more readable without it being intrusive or changing stuff too much ! Serves its purpose very well, all items are much more readble; I might go for something more specific later on when im more experienced with the game (like ones that clearly separate atk/def stuff etc) but for now i just wanted some qol without impacting the vanilla experience too much :)
Addon Compatibility
While I personally will not be using this (I hate how it makes the tooltip longer) I would like to know how compatible it is for root's tooltip options, as I'll be recommending this to new players that look for better item description addons.

If it isn't, perhaps add scroll speed and scroll delay to this addon.
Mostly...
They are compatible, with one caveat: both Root’s Tooltips and this addon modify the tooltip’s width.
I am currently testing dynamic tooltip widths based on content to prevent unnecessary line wrapping.
The goal of this addon is straightforward: to reformat item tooltip content in a more readable (opinionated) way by adjusting width, height, and alignment.
Changes to scrolling behavior or transparency are intentionally out of scope, as the addon is designed to remain non-intrusive.
