UITooltip Theming Parameters

The :class:`UIToolTip <pygame_gui.elements.UIToolTip>` theming block id is 'tool_tip'.

Misc

:class:`UITooltip <pygame_gui.elements.UITooltip>` accepts the following miscellaneous parameters in a 'misc' block:

• "rect_width" - The width of the rectangle around the tool tip in pixels, including any shadows or borders. The height is determined dynamically.

Sub-elements

The :class:`UIToolTip <pygame_gui.elements.UIToolTip>` contains a :class:`UITextBox <pygame_gui.elements.UITextBox>` so you can use the block ID 'tool_tip.text_box' to start styling it.

There is more information on theming the text box at :ref:`theme-text-box`.
