In openoffice tooltips are very dark and thus almost impossible to read: I already deleted all plasma* in ~/.kde/share/config/, no difference. Also I have kdenlive and amarok running on my Ubuntu 11.04 desktop. Same thing. Do other people also have these dark tooltips?

The default tool tips work great with qt and kde applications, but the libreoffice tool tips are barely legible. I'm guessing the solution is to file a bug report with libreoffice. karthikp, proud to be a member of KDE forums since 2008.

mogliii Registered Member Posts 73 Karma 0 OS	Re: KDE4.7 default theme -> Tooltip too dark Mon Oct 31, 2011 12:35 pm First to clear the confusion: I have two cases. Case 1: Netbook running Kubuntu 11.04 with KDE4.7 and plasme netbook Case 2: Dekstop running Ubuntu 11.04 with gnome. But KDE libraries are installed to run amarok and kdenlive (btw amazing application). ============================== For Case 1 I get the dark tooktips only in openoffice. Kmail, dbus, Firefox, Dolphin, Amarok, Skype are all OK For Case 2 (and this I will have to check when I get home) I believe that the tooltips in both kdenlive and amarok are dark as described. I will post an update once I could verify this. Deleting Trolltech.conf (plus log off) did not make any difference

mogliii Registered Member Posts 73 Karma 0 OS	Re: KDE4.7 default theme -> Tooltip too dark Thu Nov 03, 2011 7:54 am Hi, thank you for the collection of links. Fixed it on Ubuntu. But about Openoffice: If I use the recommended method explained here https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=123684 Post 3 (change tooltip background color to white). But then my normal tooltips, which is light gray on almost black, become invisible. So I will stick with black tooltips and file a bug report with LO. Many thanks for your help, markiing solved.
