this is known and intended, because the contents may get read from arbitrary HTML content which is usually written to expect a bright background. that's sadly life...

Comment 2 matombo 2021-04-08 17:56:01 UTC

Is it not possible to have context specific css for when it's rendered in the tooltip?

Maybe, but that would be a lot of work to keep up2date. Esp. note that the content we are showing there is not provided by us after all - rather it's provided by whomever generates the documentation (e.g. Qt, C++, ...).
