2021-11 Ruleset: Small sidebar buttons no longer have tooltips

[Ecks]

The small sidebar buttons (Combat Tracker, Party Sheet, Calendar, etc.) don't appear to have tooltips any longer, which may make it harder for newer users to identify them.

On a separate note, the collapsible sidebar categories are a really nice improvement. Have you considered changing any of the small buttons at the top (e.g. Combat Tracker) to be the same style as the other buttons? For example, Options and Colors could move to a "Settings" category.

+1 from me on this. Those buttons are often a bit out of place in some themes/rulesets. Something like the new sidebar would be very much appreciated in terms of visuals and accessibility.

We actually considered making a "Tools" category similar to the other categories; and moving all the buttons there as standard option. However, the amount of change was already very high in this part of the UI and code; so deferred for now.

The tooltips are now fixed with the update I just pushed.

I agree, having a separate tools category would be great and make the entire sidebar more consistent. Even if it comes a little later, I love the new sidebar concept.
