Text color/background for hints

[kolorafa]

Other GTK apps have hints white text over black background, is the background color hardcoded?

Arch (Antergos) KDE Plasma
geany 1.31 (kompilacja: Jul 19 2017GTK 2.24.31, GLib 2.52.3)

Are you sure you're not using a GTK+3 build of Geany? I had this problem as well with KDE but I thought it was only when using GTK+3 Geany, not GTK+ 2.

No its not hard coded, it follows the GTK theme. Perhaps @codebrainz KDE distro didn't put much effort into the GTK themes after GTK3 when all the tools to translate KDE themes to GTK2 would have broken.

Add:

.tooltip {
  background-color: #00ff00;
}

to ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css and get minty green.

Okey ... that didn't help, but i did found that if I run geany from terminal it has this bad background, but if I run from start menu or krunner it loads and it get correctly black background.

Thanks for your help, so i need to look into theme/enviroment and probably hit plasma team.
