Subject: [PATCH] window-list: Add tooltip for long window titles
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Adds a tooltip feature to the window buttons.
If a button’s label is too long to fit, a tooltip will show the complete content when the user hovers over the button.

Fixes https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell-extensions/-/issues/170
