Hi All

This is what I have:
FVWM 2.5.12-4
xfree86-common 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8
Debian/unstable (ppc)
Kernel 2.4.25-ben1

I'm trying to change the background color of tooltips, balloons as
they're called, IINM on FVWM and elsewhere, popping up when I move the
mouse over a browser window, the Buttons Bar etc. ... with only
very limited success so far:


As far as I know X11 doesn't have any concept of tooltips, so every UI programmer is obliged to roll his/her own. Therefore there's no standard for what they're called, or whether they have a separate background resource at all. Applications written with a particular toolkit sush as Gtk may be different - I don't know.


If you're desperate to find the resources for a given app, you can run "strings" on the executable and try to guess what's what. I've had occasional, limited success with that strategy.
