            Bug ID: 514188
           Summary: Allow /widgets/tooltip.svg to control panel tooltips
    Classification: Plasma
           Product: plasmashell
      Version First master
       Reported In:
          Platform: Other
                OS: Other
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Panel
          Assignee: plasma-bugs-n...@kde.org
          Reporter: anditosan1...@gmail.com
                CC: niccolo.venera...@gmail.com
  Target Milestone: 1.0

SUMMARY
Today, tooltips on the panel are controlled by ToolTipArea. This draws a
difference in style with classic tooltips if the plasma style makes changes.
For example, I would like to make all tooltips in the system dark, but only
some of them get the change. The larger tooltips used in the panel follow the
background look that the rest of the plasma style has. This makes tooltips look
different.

This produces 2 problems:

1. 2 kinds of tooltips in the system will have different colors leading to
visual inconsistency
2. Design is unable to have full control over all tooltips leading to theme
inconsistency

EXPECTED RESULT
- All tooltips in the system should, at least, look the same even if the
underlying components are different

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I consulted with @cwo on the technical info.
