Can't set tool tip background color when using XFT fonts

Submitted by mbalmer on Wed, 08/01/2007 - 10:37.

I use the new antialiased fonts in my applications. I am, however, no longer able to set the background color of the tool tips:

! used to work wo/ XFT fonts:
*.TipLabel.foreground: red
*.TipLabel.background: red

! only the renditionForeground work with antialiased fonts:
*.TipLabel.renderTable.variable.renditionForeground: red
*.TipLabel.renderTable.variable.renditionBackground: white

What is the right way to set the background color of a tool tip when using antialiased fonts?

Re: Can't set tool tip  background color when using XFT font

        
I cannot reproduce your issue. I tried to change the tooltip demo in the following way.


commented out setting of tooltip backround color and added the following to fallback resources:


        "*.TipLabel.background: red",

	"*renderTable:		three",

	"*three.fontType:		FONT_IS_XFT",

	"*three.fontName:		Sans",

	"*three.fontSize:		10",


And the demo works well, I got red tooltip background.
