Since the majority of user complaints about the double white balance messages are from those who clearly haven't read the associated tooltip, apply a psychological trick to get them to read the tooltip: add what appears to be a hyperlink to more information, which will get them to hover over the message long enough for the tooltip to pop up (usually - one can actually click the fake link fast enough to prevent the popup).
