Changing "Tool_Tip" foreground colors to make readable - brianpb007 - 03-25-2018 When I hover over a button in GIMP,  and get a "tool tip"  which appears to have white text on an off-white background, nearly zero contrast and impossible to read. How does one change the foreground/background colors of the 'tool tips' to make these readable? If I download/install 2.8.22 will I have library version conflicts, manual updates?  [1] System: GIMP 2.8.18, YAST install, latest available from Suse OpenSuse 42.3, fully patched Linux spock 4.4.104-39-default #1 SMP Thu Jan 4 08:11:03 UTC 2018 (7db1912) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux NOTE [1]: Installed VLC outside of YAST, now seeing: phonon-backend-vlc-0.8.2-5.2. x86_64 conflicts with vlc-noX > 2.2.99 provided by vlc-noX-3.0.1-278.2.x86_64 vlc-codecs-3.0.1-278.2.x86_64 requires libavcodec57(unrestricted), but this requirement cannot be provided As bad as DLL HELL with windows!

You could try something like this in system settings - apply colors to non-qt applications. Edit: or untick it if it is ticked - one or the other If that does not work try: https://iwf1.com/how-to-change-gtk-apps-tooltips-text-and-background-color otherwise you might have to change the overall theme. --------- If I download/install 2.8.22 will I have library version conflicts, manual updates? and VLC problem. ➤> Best ask on an openSUSE forum.
