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...
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++, ...).
