here are some with the different tooltips. I realized today that they are square on the title bars for all windows today as well.

The OpenOffice.org tooltip does also have a shadow.

Most applications don't support transparent tooltips, thus making the black tooltips very ugly.

It's also happening in ubuntu 10.10 and firefox 3.6.11 and thunderbird 3.1.5 with the new radiance theme. in chromium for example it works fine...

Gabe Gorelick (gabegorelick) wrote :

The chromium devs have put in a lot of work to make sure that it plays nicely with GTK themes. They also had to do extra work to fix a bunch of issues with the light themes (see bug #573691 as an example), so that's why it works so well :)

Is this bug appearing in Firefox 4 final?

Yes it does. This bug is still valid for Firefox 4 final and also for LibreOffice (tooltips have shadows too).

This bug is still prevalent in Firefox 9 alpha.

This really depends on the different theming implementations of the various GUI toolkits used by the applications mentioned in this bug: XUL (Firefox/Thunderbird), OOo/LibO's own toolkit, GTK+2 and GTK+3, Qt... So there is very little to do in light-themes to try to solve all the inconsistencies between apps.

Closing for now.

Since this is a deficiency in LibreOffice and Firefox's custom GUI toolkits, I'ved marked them as affected. Feel free to split those off into separate bugs if appropriate.
