By "tool tips", I actually mean the "descriptive text and icon boxes"
that appear when you mouseover a Kicker button. I was messing with my
look-and-feel the other day and somehow managed to apply a "black text on
a black background" theme: which isn't helpful. I searched through the
Control Centre to try and find what I changed, but no cigar :).

I'm not certain which colors the "icon mouseover effect" uses but if you
open: "Appearance & Themes -> Colors" you should see what is wrong.


No, I actually suspect it's a bug. Googling appears to show that this sometimes just "happens" with then all-new Kicker, and that the only "fix" anyone has come up with, is to turn the effect off (under Panels > Appearance-tab > uncheck "Enable Mouseover effects", FWIW).

There seems to be no entry in the Control Centre for applying any changes to this effect, at all. Also CC's "help" still lists "icon zooming" as an applicable effect, even though Aaron Seigo replaced "icon zooming" with this new visual-do-hickey. It doesn't matter much; it was just annoying during the time while I was still trying to work out how to either fix, or get rid of, it.

Yes, there is probably a bug. Further research indicates that the text color is: "Standard Text" which you *can* set where I said, but the background is not a named KDE color. The background appears to be the Kicker Panel background color and I can't find anywhere to set this.

Also, there is no color specified in "kickerrc".

I can't reproduce the problem so all I can suggest is that you file a bug report.
