The theme can change the colours of the tooltips, BUT the GIMP Default and Small themes do not do this, so the colour is being set by your operating system/window manager.
On Windows 8.1, I can change the desktop theme and it will change the background colour of the tooltips (but not the text colour) You haven't said which operating system you are using and what the desktop theme colours are.

Have you changed that recently? Yes, I went through numerous themes without success. In fact the desktop tooltips seem to be alright (white on black) if I can go by what it is in a terminal window. All other programs except 'audacity' show readable tooltips. So I get the impression the tooltip configuration is set by each program. >Just to rule it out, you should try a different desktop theme and see >if >it changes. -- gm40 (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list List address: gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list List address: gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
