Beschreibung

The tool tips that display, upon hovering over a window's title-bar-buttons, would be more helpful to newcomers if the text shown was based on the current state of that toggle button.

For example, if a window is maximized, the tool tip could say "unmaximize", and if the window is not maximized it could say "maximize". Similar state-based tool-tips could be applied to all title-bar-buttons, instead of just statically displaying the same text across all states.

I realize that the icons themselves change based on state, but as a new user (who is unfamiliar with these pictorial states), I would appreciate tool tips that are more dynamically informative and less static. I understand that a lot of advanced users remove these title bars completely. So, it would be nice if their behavior catered more to newcomers.
