Description Frederic Mohr 2015-11-25 09:30:48 UTC 
The tool tips (hover over tool for short description or name) in some applications (e.g. GIMP, Inkscape, Aptana Studio) have next to no contrast with a light background and light text color.

In other apps (e.g. Krita, Thunderbird) it works perfectly fine.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open GIMP or Inkscape
2. Hover over tool (see screenshot)
3. Try to read tool tip

Actual Results:  
text is barely readable due to lack of contrast

Expected Results:  
light background, dark text colour (like in thunderbird)

The system colors seem to be dark background, light text color (dolphin, system activity, network-manager, etc.) while thunderbird (and others such as krita, owncloud-client) seem to be using their own colors (light background which differs between apps and a dark text color)

... should be assigned to gtk theme
Comment 6 Marco Martin 2015-11-25 09:42:59 UTC 
a gtk component would be needed under breeze product
Comment 7 Hugo Pereira Da Costa 2015-11-25 09:45:00 UTC 
@Marco
Yes. And in the meanwhile reassigning to "general". 
This is not QStyle, and I should not be assigned to the bug (because I do not know how to fix)
Comment 8 Frederic Mohr 2015-11-25 11:33:44 UTC 
Anything I can do to help with this problem? Any information I can provide?
