The tooltip text that shows up when you hover in the visitors log is set to a very light grey color and the tooltip itself ha s awhite background.

I am unable to read the text in the tooltip.

#5000 dude! high times!

The tooltip is looking good for me, with black background. I use Firefox 28 on linux. What about you?

[anonymous-matomo-user]

My background is not black, how can I change the tooltip bg?

[anonymous-matomo-user]

OK well nobody answered, so it was GREP to the rescue.

CSS files seem to be located in:

/tmp/assets

The file I edited was asset_manager_global_css.css

Does this file get regenerated often? How does this work?
I added background-color: #000; to all of the tooltip css styles and I can now read my tooltips.

It should re-generated when activating/deactivating plugins that contain CSS (so the file is rebuilt). Also when upgrading piwik core.

It's strange you got white tooltips. It works locally. do you also see white tooltips using Chrome for example? or another browser?

[anonymous-matomo-user]

Just in Firefox by the looks of it. Can I suggest a change to the code?
I did my own edit to the css file, which will eventually be overwritten.

For the ui-tooltip css elements can you add:

background-color: #000;

This will make it work. Have you tried installing Firefox yourselves to see if the error occurs on your installations as well? If so then this is a defacto bug. The tooltip is not useful if it is unreadable.

[mattab]

Sure we mostly use firefox at Piwik. Do you see the white tooltip background on the http://demo.piwik.org as well?

[anonymous-matomo-user]

Yes white tooltip background, unreadable in your demo.piwik.org site.

I have Firebug installed on my FF installation. That is the only extension I have running.

I just upgraded to the brand new Firefox, I had 28.. now I have 29.0 .. same problem.

How is it I'm the only one having this problem??

How is it I'm the only one having this problem??

That's also what I'm wondering... Do you see same issue when using Chrome or Opera?

In 44aa8c9: fixes #5000 this should fix the white tooltip background, please reopen if it still does not work for you (will be probably in next new major release)

I also had this problem in previous versions on Firefox. The fix do the job in 2.2.2, but I think it's quite ugly... Why a white text on a black background, and not the opposite ? (See attached file)
