Many many years ago, I set the generic popup tooltips to be on a light

.gtkrc-2.0 (and the two variants created by the gtk/kde engine tools:
.gtkrc-2.0.mine and .gtk-2.0-kde) The setting related to the generic
popups is, e.g.
And... years ago, I went though the gtk+2 config hierarchy and simply
rewrote my .gtkrc-2.0 to contain what I wanted -- and haven't had to
change it since. What I have now includes the .gtkrc-2.0.mine but it
simply contains the same tooltips config. For what it is worth, this is
what I've used for eons:
When you use the gtk-qt-engine, check for the config files in your
home directory. Just open them all in kate and tweak to your liking. If
I'm remembering incorrectly -- well senility must be setting in with old
age :)
Thanks David.
Seems sane that if the xfce4 notify daemon is being used that popup
fonts are controlled by gtkrc files. I'll tinker with that. I too
configured gtkrc files many years ago and haven't touched them since.
But that was in the day of smaller monitors. The larger monitors are
contributing to the popups looking so small. Doesn't explain though why
the popups look fine in xfce but not TDE on a large monitor.
The gtk-qt-engine package isn't required for the system I am having
notification popup issues. The core problem is I can't get knotify to
load automatically. Sometimes knotify loads and sometimes not. A mystery
and part of the root problem. I don't remember how notification popups
are supposed to function in TDE when there is no active system
notification daemon.
Since TDE has roots to KDE 3 and is a standalone DE, I am presuming
popups are controlled within the environment. I don't know the
dependencies to ensure TDE popups function. I don't remember after all
these years but I am guessing the old KDE 3 was not designed to handle
external notifications except through the old writed/walld tools.
