Can tooltip display time be increased?

[cjsmall]

In GIMP 3.0.4 I'm finding the tooltips popping up are very annoying.  I searched Preferences and did not see an option to adjust or disable them.  Is there a way to increase the timeout before the tooltip is displayed, or to disable them altogether?

Thanks.

Also, I'm using the Default Light Colors theme and Legacy Icon theme. Can I change the colors of the tooltips to be white text on a dark grey background as was the case in 2.10?

Hi! If you want to hide tooltips, you can do that with CSS. Just add this to your theme CSS file:


tooltip { opacity: 0 }

Thanks. That worked, but you have to put in in your ~/.config/GIMP/3.0/gimp.css file now as the theme.css file is overwritten upon each invocation of GIMP 3.0 and all changes are lost.

I'd still like to know how to change the timeout duration and background color if anyone knows.

Ah, sorry - I didn't mean the literal theme.css but just the CSS used for themes! Glad you figured it out though.

You can see the CSS for the tooltip coloring here: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/bl...s#L642-665
You can change it as desired. As for pop-up timing, it looks like there was a setting called "gtk-tooltip-timeout", but unfortunately it was removed in GTK3 3.10.
