[Digikam-users] Still can't get readable tooltips in Digikam 3.1.0!

[Mick Sulley]

I had that problem as well, I think it is conflict between Gnome and KDE.

I am running Gnome desktop on Debian Wheezy and Jessie.  I think you 
have already done this, but the note I made when I fixed mine was -

To fix - install systemsettings and run from a terminal
go to Applications Appearance > Colors > Colors and change Tooltip Text 
to a darker colour
