Hint windows, the little yellow windows that popup when you hover over a hint enabled component, can be very useful, and they can be tweaked a little bit. For example, I dislike the faded yellow color and prefer white.
You can however, also change it's timing.
Example code:
procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
begin
Application.HintColor := clWhite;
Application.HintPause := 2000;
Application.HintHidePause := 5000;
end;
