161922 - Tooltips follow Windows defined tooltip font color but not tooltip background color.

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 161600

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Marek]

My tooltips in Windows XP are defined with a dark blue background with white
text. The Mozilla web browser 1.1b displays all its tooltips (for toolbar
buttons as well as HTML objects like images) with a white background, which
combined with my defined white text for tooltips renders a blank white rectangle
(invisible text).

Tooltips in Mozilla should follow the Windows color scheme as defined. To
reproduce the problem, on XP, right click on the Windows desktop and select
Properties. On the Display Properties dialog, select the Appearance tab and
click on the Advanced button. On the Advanced Appearance tab, select the ToolTip
item from the combo box and define any dark color for the background and choose
white color for the text (I have Font set to Tahoma). Click OK and OK to close
both dialogs and apply the changes. Roll the mouse over any toolbar button on
Mozilla to display a tooltip.
