I think it should look like this

OS: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20180305
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.43.0
Qt Version: 5.10.0
Kernel Version: 4.15.1-1-default
OS Type: 64-bit

I think something went wrong with tooltip colors in Breeze Application Color Scheme after Plasma 5.0 where tooltip background and text color looks nice (white background and black text) according to: https://cgit.kde.org/breeze.git/tree/colors/Breeze.colors?h=Plasma/5.0 and according to: https://cgit.kde.org/breeze.git/tree/colors/Breeze.colors?h=Plasma/5.12.

Comparing both variants, I prefear the old one tooltip color scheme (with white background and black text color), where icons looks nicer.

To get tooltip colors as on the attached screenshots, I just replace two color parameters in Breeze Application Color Scheme throught the System Settings (Choose Color set: Tooltip):

before:
 Normal Background=35,38,39
 Normal Text=252,252,252

after:
 Normal Background=252,252,252
 Normal Text=35,38,39

Associated with this bug: Bug 386748 - Some icons are missing in tooltips

This is my first bug report, so do not judge strictly.

You're in luck; looks like someone submitted a patch for this: https://phabricator.kde.org/D11180

I can't comment on the likelihood of its being accepted, of course.

It would be great.

I was guided by the logic that the Breeze desktop theme also has a light color scheme.

+ rwurth in his discussion on the phabricator (https://phabricator.kde.org/D11180) has disabled shadows for windows (System Settings> Window Decorations> Theme> Breeze> Settings> Shadows> Size> None), so on his screenshots tooltips do not have a contrast with windows on the background.

Sounds like this was rejected, sorry.
