Globals

Sometimes you may need to set all of your tooltips options in one place, you can achieve this using tooltipsConfProvider like this:

.config(['tooltipsConfProvider', function configConf(tooltipsConfProvider) {
  tooltipsConfProvider.configure({
    'smart': true,
    'size': 'large',
    'speed': 'slow',
    'tooltipTemplateUrlCache': true
    //etc...
  });
}])

Theming

You can create your own theme by editing the default SASS file lib/angular-tooltips.scss or just editing the default CSS file dist/angular-tooltips.css.
