I confirm that this does not seem to have any effect on Mac. However, you can
change the appearance of tooltips by using a stylesheet:
import sys
from PyQt4 import QtGui
from PyQt4 import QtCore
class Tooltip(QtGui.QWidget):
def __init__(self, parent=None):
QtGui.QWidget.__init__(self, parent)
self.setGeometry(300, 300, 250, 150)
self.setWindowTitle('Tooltip')
tip_style = """
QToolTip {
border: 2px solid green;
border-radius: 4px;
padding: 2px;
font-family: "Arial";
font-size: 20pt;
}
"""
self.setStyleSheet(tip_style)
self.setToolTip('This is a QWidget widget')
app=QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
tp=Tooltip()
tp.show()
sys.exit(app.exec_())
If you want all tooltips to have the same non-default appearance then I think
that you could use QApplication's setStyleSheet method instead of QWidget's one.
