Tooltip colours

[Ismas]

Hi There. In my Ubuntu with Thunderbird in dark mode tooltip shows in dark green, dark red and dark magenta over black and is unreadable. so unusable. It whould be very nice if tooltip colours could be changed or selected among several themes. Or at the very least, the tooltip window background color changeable.

Thanks and keep the good work.

I have the same problem, but was not able to change the background colour of the tooltip for some reason. I am using Debian with i3.

Anyway, here is the change for nicer colours: https://github.com/doak/expression-search-ng/commit/cd51dfeda848790d34d67b77883fe6dc3e24f973

… Ubuntu with Thunderbird in dark mode tooltip shows in dark green, dark red and dark magenta over black …

Maybe different with 3.4.4 added to Thunderbird in normal mode on FreeBSD:

– dark grey, blue, and a green that's not particularly dark.

I assume that an eventual fix will be the same as, or similar to, what's above. Thanks.

I have the same issue on Manjaro running KDE Plasma 5.27.5. I'm not in dark mode. I tried different GTK Themes and even when forcing TB from auto to normal theme there is no change here. It shows really dark for me and I do hard to read it, especially the tag list which is most helpful.

If anybody knows a workaround how to force the background bright, please give me a hint, thanks!
