112226 - Tooltips have an inconsistent look with the rest of the applications.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 64894

(SeaMonkey :: Themes, defect)

Description

[Gregory McLean]

Every other application that I use, no matter which toolkit it uses the tooltips
have a thin black border around them, with the exception of mozilla. Mozilla's
tooltips show up as a borderless (or not a contrasting color) tooltip.

To see this, run several different applications and hover over various widgets
to see the tooltip displayed, then hover over a mozilla widget to see the
tooltip displayed.

The colors are also wrong but this can be handled with a bit of gtkrc goo..

--- cut ---
style "tooltips" 
{ 
   fg[NORMAL] = { 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 }
   bg[NORMAL] = { 0.94, 0.90, 0.54 } 
}
widget "gtk-tooltips" style "tooltips"

--- cut ---

The following chunk in the userChrome.css fixes the border bit.
---
.tooltip {
  border                : 1px solid !important;
}
---

Digging in the chrome stuff it appears this bit is defining the look (in the
skin/<skin>/global/popup.css file
---
.tooltip, tooltip
  {
    border                : 1px solid WindowFrame;
    padding               : 2px;
...
}

---

Peering closely at the mozilla tooltips it looks like they are getting a thin
whiteish border around em which 1. Don't show up worth a flip. 2. Don't match
other application tooltips.

Fairly trivial to fix IMHO.

pmac, I'm marking this as a dup of a fixed bug based on its platform and the
date it was reported. Please verify it carefully.

Yes indeed this is a dup.. Sorry about that I didn't find the initial bug when I
first posted this. Guess my bugzilla-queryfu isn't up to par :(
