Take the 2-minute tour ×  I am working on a GUI and I've run
into a problem. If I set a button, label, or other widget to
have a background color, the tooltip for that widget also takes
the same background color. I tried editing the style sheet for
the tooltip specifically and setting a different background
color but it doesn't work. I also tried editing the palette for
the widget but changing the color scheme for the tooltip
background or text doesn't work either. Is there another way I
can do this? I'd like to have consistency between all my
tooltips.   share|improve this question  1 Answer 1  up vote 1
down vote accepted  You can do something like this to style a
QToolTip in general.  QToolTip { color: #fff; background-color:
#000; border: none; }  When you need to style QToolTips
specifically, based on their parent widget you can use following
syntax:  ParentWidgetName QToolTip { color: #333; background-
color: #1c1c1c; border: none; }  Reading this will help you
further.  share|improve this answer I tried
