Them tooltips
I have the Windows setting to Always Combine buttons; when I click on a taskbar button it displays a list with the titles of the open windows (I have the registry setting Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Taskband\NumThumnails DWORD (32 bit) (REG_DWORD) with value 0)
so that makes it a list rather than the preview, which is what I want, now the problem is when the list is displayed and I hover with the mouse over an item (or if I do Win+number, repeatedly to cycle through the items), there is this tooltip that shows up, in case the title is on the bigger side and doesn't fit on width, that shows the entire text of the title over several lines. I hate this thing because it obscures the other items in the list.
Would there be any way to turn these tooltips off?
Note I'm not asking to turn off the tooltips that show when you hover over the taskbar button - but when you hover over an item in the list.
Thanks a bunch!

Alternatively, is there any way to make the list wider so that longer items fit in it, and that way, the tooltips won't show anymore (I noticed they don't show when I hover over a list item that short - shorter than the overall list width)?
Try setting the always_show_tooltip advanced option to 2. Refer to the help file for more details.
By the way, setting the Hovering -> List option in the tweaker has the same effect as setting NumThumnails.
That did it! This is awesome, thanks so much! I spent the whole day looking for a solution to this. This solves my problem, though I guess it's still worth asking - you wouldn't know of a way to make the list item width unlimited (or set a higher a limit to it) so that items names (window titles) are not truncated to start with?
Anyways, great work, hats off !
Great. Regarding the unlimited width, I'm not familiar of such a configuration, and the tweaker has no relevant option for that.
