Waldo Kitty, you should go to see an eye doctor, you are suffering
from color blindness. :)
hahahahaha! might be getting there in my "old age" ;)
You all noticed the hint window's color but nobody noticed it renders
HTML nicely, giving a professional touch to hint and info windows.
i haven't been able to see that yet... i had a time trying to do the screen grab
because as soon as i'd hit the print screen key, the popup would go away... i
had to try 5 or 6 times before i got the image i posted showing it...
The same effect was available also earlier by installing
TurboPowerIProDsgn package. Now some bugs are fixed (see #20202) and
it is part of lazarus BigIde by default.
nice! i have generally installed that in the past but didn't understand this was
what it was for... i haven't gotten around to trying to use it, either... it has
been on my TODO list for a long while and no projects i've been working on have
needed it... probably because they're mostly all command line text mode
programs, i guess...

I don't know
how to make a clearer border but the color is here:
Lazarus_dir\LCL\Include\hintwindow.inc
// Color := clInfoBk;
Color := clYellow; // <- for instance
That will not help because the THintWindow.Canvas is not used. Instead
TurboPowerIProDsgn registers its own HTML renderer component there.
If you want to study the code, here are some pointers:
IdeHelpIntf (in package IdeIntf) has these events through which
TurboPowerIProDsgn registers itself:
CreateIDEHTMLControl: TCreateIDEHTMLControlEvent = nil;
CreateIDEHTMLProvider: TCreateIDEHTMLProviderEvent = nil;
Code that supports both the default text hints and registered hint
renderers is now refactored into THintWindowManager class, also in
IdeHelpIntf unit.
Earlier such code was spread in different places, including OI and SE.
i knew that someone (you i think) had been working on this by the posts in the
various lists... i'm glad to see that your work is coming along nicely...
There is a small border around hint windows. On Windows there is even
a nice shadow so it looks like lifted up.
I don't know what you people are complaining about.
I tested with Windows, GTK2 and QT widgetsets.
i get the shadow but not the border... it is somewhat unsettling to have a box
popup that might not be noticed as a popup box at first... initially i had
thought that some sort of formatting thing had happened and i moved to try to
clear it up when the box disappeared with the text i was going to try to clear
out... it took me a few minutes to realize that it was a popup and that it was
due to my mouse having moved over something that had a hint box associated with
it...
i actually don't mind the white (or very light yellow) background of the popup
box but the missing border is something else... why it is missing i have no
idea... that's why i posted asking where i need to go to adjust the colors for
those items ;)
