I have created a patch which I believe slightly improves the situation. Instead of directly drawing the text, I used a Label (actually, a slightly modified label from here: http://people.gnome.org/~gianmt/busybox.py). I'm relatively new to development on Launchpad, and I had difficulty finding the right procedure to propose my patch to be merged. So here it is. I hope it's some help.
The patch fixes the problem of transparent background, but the color is still the same. ** Patch added: "tooltip.diff" https://bugs.launchpad.net/screenlets/+bug/698058/+attachment/2082421/+files/tooltip.diff -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Screenlets Dev Team, which is subscribed to Screenlets. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/698058 Title: Tooltip class in __init__.py is hardly usable _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~screenlets-dev Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~screenlets-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
