Tooltip text has changed to pale green. Help!

haughtonomous
I am assuming that I didn't get a response to my earlier plea for help because it didn't reach the mailing list, so I am trying again. Can anyone help?

I'm starting to use digikam 3.2 in opensuse 12.3 (Gnome 3). This evening the digikam tooltips all have pale green text on a white background, which makes them unreadable. They were okay last night (black on white), but since I did a system update tonight (may be a coincidence) the tooltip text foreground has changed.

The tooltips are set to use the System Font, but nothing else is green on black, so I'm perplexed. I also cannot find anywhere within Digikam to change the colour of the tooltip text. All the other text in Digikam seems unaffected.

How can I change the tooltips back to black on white?

Regards,

Neil

Neil - I see both of your posts.
I run digikam 3.4.0 on openSUSE 12.3, but KDE 4.11.1.
I don't know how to tweak Gnome, but here is what I would do in KDE:
1. Open System Settings(which I keep in my desktop folder) - Application Appearance
2. Select Colors , which opens a window with 5 Tabs : Scheme - Options - Colors - Inactive - Disabled
3. If you select the Colors Tab, you will find a row where you can tweak ToolTips font colors as well as others. Or, on the Scheme Tab, you could try some different schemes to see if you find a color combo that works better for you.

I assume Gnome has a similar setup/customization interface, I just don't know what it is.
If you cannot find it, try the openSUSE Forum- Applications. Lots of Gnome users hang out there.

This sounds like a desktop settings issue, not a digikam issue, but who knows?

I run DigiKam on Debian with Gnome and I had a similar problem. 

My understanding is that when you install Digikam with a Gnome desktop it also installs part of KDE and that is where you need to adjust the settings.  What I did was -

install systemsettings and run from a terminal
go to Applications Appearance > Colors > Colors and change Tooltip Text to a darker colour

Hope that helps
Mick

Re: Tooltip text has changed to pale green. Help!

In addition, I found some issue with the "GTK+" kde graphic component with  
a Gnome/Unity desktop and dark theme.

I get unchangeable white background color if I choose a dark theme in  
Digikam. To fix this I set "Cleanlooks" as Graphic components (composants  
graphiques in french) in Digikam setup (last section "Divers" in french...  
may be "miscellaneous" in english).

Cleanlooks and all others seems to work except "GTK+" option.

Re: Tooltip text has changed to pale green. Help!

The problem turned out to be that no Widget style had been set (Digikam Settings>Miscellaneous->Widget dropdown list. I may have accidentally cleared this myself, now I come to think of it). Selecting any one of the offered widget styles cures the problem. I selected ClearStyle as the best looking, I think.

Thanks for all the responses.

PS installed on a Sata III SSD with dual core processor and 8GB of memory, Digikam fair whizzes along!

Re: Tooltip text has changed to pale green. Help!

Gilles Caulier-4
The best one is Oxygen. I can reproduce the dysfunction under OSX. I
proposed a patch to provide a compilable kde-workspace component under
OSX where KDE controlsettings panel is compiled and also Oxygen
stylevsource code.
