Subject description: [SOLVED]		  
Hi all,

With a longer tooltip, I get these grey ends of line.

Here I exaggerated the amount of text a bit for the screenshot:



Code:
<button tooltip-markup="<span fgcolor='"'blue'"' bgcolor='"'lightyellow'"'> '$(gettext 'Lorem ipsum

Is there a trick to make the tooltip background 100% "light-yellow"?

Thanks in advance!

I don't know the exact code, but you can sure set tooltip colors in an extra gtktheme.
The following example shows to do it (for monospace text).

Code:
#!/bin/bash
echo 'style "specialmono"
{
  font_name="Mono 12"
}
widget "*mono" style "specialmono"
class "GtkText*" style "specialmono"' > /tmp/gtkrc_mono

export GTK2_RC_FILES=/tmp/gtkrc_mono:/root/.gtkrc-2.0

export test_app="
<vbox>
  <text name=\"mono\"><label>This text-widget uses monospace font....</label></text>
  <text><label>...while this text-widget don't.</label></text>
  <edit><default>All edit-widgets gets monospace.</default></edit>
</vbox>"
gtkdialog --program=test_app

Thank you Zigbert,

I've been trying your idea, but didn't get results.

There was already a global "special" gtktheme in the dialog (as you can see from the fonts in the screenshot above).

At first I tried to integrate the tooltip stuff in that gtktheme. Didn't work. Then I added a new theme, following your example:
Code:
#setting tooltip style...
echo 'style "specialtooltip"
{
  font_name="Sans 10"
  font_style="bold"
  fg[NORMAL]="blue"
  bg[NORMAL]="lightyellow"
}
widget "*specialtooltip" style "specialtooltip"
class "GtkTooltip*" style "specialtooltip"' > /tmp/gtkrc_specialtooltip

Tried another example (from SFR I think):
Code:
#setting tooltip style..
FONT_NAME="Sans"
FONT_SIZE="10"
FONT_STYLE="bold"
echo 'style "custom1"
{
font_name="'$FONT_NAME' '$FONT_STYLE' '$FONT_SIZE'"
fg[NORMAL]="blue"
bg[NORMAL]="lightyellow"
}
widget "*GtkTooltip*" style "custom1" ' > /tmp/gtkrc_custom1
export GTK2_RC_FILES="${HOME}/.gtkrc-2.0:/tmp/gtkrc_custom1"


Again no luck.
I'm sure you are right and that it is possible, but I have to give up.
It is also not that important Wink
It taught me to keep tooltips sweet and short...

Thanks again,
Bert

Be aware that some gtk-themes are hard to override. Try the Flat-grey or Stardust, as these has never given trouble for me.

Did some trials and replacing "*GtkTooltip*" with just "*tooltip*" gave me control over tooltip's style.

Greetings!
