I use Eclipse Mars dark theme and have been trying to get colors right to my best effort.

When you mouseover/hover an item which has a text too long and got partially hidden by window, a tooltip will show up, as shown on the below image.

Eclipse Balloon background color

As you can see, either the tooltip foreground color needs to change to black or background to dark color.

It does not look like the Window system ToolTip and I could not find the corresponding Eclipse setting covers that.

    Did you ever find a solution to this?

  • Hi Rich, I am glad I am not the only one aware of the issue but unfortunately I do not think I found the solution at the end. I just upgraded my iOS from 8 to 9 and recognizes that Apple has changed the font from Helvetica to San Francisco and I do not like it. Sometimes we need to accept world is not perfect. I do not remember if I raised the issue to any Eclipse forum. I would hope I could retire earlier and have time to look into Eclipse source to find out the reason.
