I run DigiKam on Debian with Gnome and I had a similar problem. <br>
<br>
My understanding is that when you install Digikam with a Gnome
desktop it also installs part of KDE and that is where you need to
adjust the settings. What I did was - <br>
<br>
install systemsettings and run from a terminal<br>
go to Applications Appearance > Colors > Colors and change
Tooltip Text to a darker colour<br>
<br>
Hope that helps<br>

Neil - I see both of your posts.<br>
I run digikam 3.4.0 on openSUSE 12.3, but KDE 4.11.1.<br>
I don't know how to tweak Gnome, but here is what I would do in
KDE:<br>
1. Open System Settings(which I keep in my desktop folder) -
Application Appearance<br>
2. Select Colors , which opens a window with 5 Tabs : Scheme -
Options - Colors - Inactive - Disabled<br>
3. If you select the Colors Tab, you will find a row where you can
tweak ToolTips font colors as well as others. Or, on the Scheme
Tab, you could try some different schemes to see if you find a
color combo that works better for you.<br>
<br>
I assume Gnome has a similar setup/customization interface, I just
don't know what it is.<br>
If you cannot find it, try the openSUSE Forum- Applications. Lots
of Gnome users hang out there.<br>
<br>
This sounds like a desktop settings issue, not a digikam issue,
but who knows?<br>
<br>

<div>I'm starting to use digikam 3.2 in opensuse 12.3
(Gnome 3). This evening the digikam tooltips all
have pale green text on a white background, which
makes them unreadable. They were okay last night
(black on white), but since I did a system update
tonight (may be a coincidence) the tooltip text
foreground has changed.<br>
<br>
</div>
The tooltips are set to use the System Font, but
nothing else is green on black, so I'm perplexed. I
also cannot find anywhere within Digikam to change the
colour of the tooltip text. All the other text in
Digikam seems unaffected.<br>
<br>
How can I change the tooltips back to black on white?<br>
<br>
