[Feature Request] Tooltips

[ScottBeeson]

Please add tooltips. I didn't know what most of the settings did without clicking them wildly. I still don't know exactly what some of them do. ¯\(ツ)/¯

Definitely part of a bigger issue with the menu, together with the menu itself just overflowing at some point if i add more options to it.

Which is actually why a complete re-design of the settings menu is currently the highest spot on my to-do list, which will change the "pop-up and click" style menu into a actual list of options with a short description (including the default value), toggle/dropdown options and such, similar to the actual Stadia settings page.

I feel like most people don't really change those options all that often in the first place and a more detailed menu that's easily expandable, but also still reachable via a single click like the current one, will just be a really good long term addition. I just don't want to push something like that, that could potentially break/create issues and would require completely re-writing translations, directly before christmas, where the situation could come up that something breaks and i'm unable to directly fix it.

It's definitely coming sooner than later however, most likely included in the next update already. There's just a couple of things i want to get done first, to bundle in a slightly bigger update with it (:

For now however, a short description of the menu items;
