Change tooltip text color in Dark Mode
-
Hello, I use Linux Mint in dark mode and noticed that the tooltip (on mouse hover) text in Strawberry is unreadable because the background color is light brown against white text. Is there a way to change either the background or text color? Dark mode works great besides that small problem.
I tried taking a screenshot but for some reason the screenshot app ignores tooltips.

@ant_codes That sounds like a Mint bug. I had the same issue with a couple of KDE themes I tried, however I can edit the colour schemes.

This does look like a Strawberry/Clementine bug. I checked both applications against LinuxMint and Ubuntu (several versions) and S/C always uses that pale yellow background for tooltips. I could find no other application on LinuxMint that uses any similar tooltip theme. In fact, for the file browser in LinuxMint (Nemo) the tooltips don't change at all moving from light to dark theme (the background color is pulled from your theme color selection and the foreground (font) seems always to remain black). What other test might we perform to confirm this is a S/C v LinuxMint/Ubuntu bug?

@jamesisin Maybe - I set my tooltip colours https://i.imgur.com/SyN0Cvp.png and they are applied perfectly, but then I'm running the QT strawberry on Plasma desktop.
I'd check settings - QT should follow a colour scheme, but maybe it's an issue running it on a GTK desktop instead.

@ben2talk How would I get to those specific QT settings? Mint has something called Qt5 Configuration Tool (aka Qt5 Settings), but I see nothing like your image.

Qt5 Settings in Linux Mint 21.2 doesn't work for Strawberry anymore because Strawberry is built with Qt 6. See this in the wiki:
I tried to compile the qt6ct utility mentioned there, but my version of Mint did not meet the required dependencies. But I'm a relative newbie to Linux so maybe I missed something.
I don't think there is currently a version of Strawberry available with Qt 5.
