The workspace tooltips are very dark. Too dark to read them. See attached screenshot.
rkward 0.5.5-devel1, KDE 4.4.92 \(KDE 4.5 RC2\)

Hi Ralf,

these use the system-wide default colors for tooltips, so most likely, this is a problem of your color scheme, rather than RKWard.

See \(KDE\) systemsettings-&gt;Look & Feel-&gt;Appearance-&gt;Colors-&gt;Tooltip background/text . Does that solve the problem?

Regards
Thomas

Hi Thomas,

No it doesn't match the colors in the system settings for some reason.
Should be black text on light blue background.

The tooltips in the editor work, though. And they are shown with exactly these colors \(black on light blue\)

Ralf.
Comment 5 Thomas Friedrichsmeier 2011-02-09 11:04:18 UTC
Hm, that's strange. At this point we rely entirely on the default rendering of tooltips \(in contrast to the function argument tips in the editor\). Could you please check, whether other KDE applications are affected as well \(if you don't find other tooltips, try Help-&gt;What's this\).

Any chance that you are running RKWard in a Gnome session? Could this be the same issue: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9879841&posted=1\#post9879841 ?

Regards
Thomas

Yes I did. And that trick worked \!

It is weird but it seemed that the color settings just needed to be clicked once,
and then it worked.

Thanks Thomas\!

Yes, that really sounds weird, but it's good to know that the trick given in that forum works, in case the problem comes up again.

Anyway, this is a known problem in KDE / Gnome / Ubuntu, then, but not something we can reasonably fix in RKWard.

Closing.
