In this program (Social Media Buttons with Tooltip), at first, on the webpage, there are five social media buttons – Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Github, and YouTube. When you hover on a particular button or icon then the tooltip appears with sliding animation and the background color of a button also changes with the default icon color. Inside the tooltip, there is the name of a particular hovered social media icon as you have seen in the image.
