Description:
It appears that whilst colour settings are detected correctly, as seen by the fact that various colour lists/menus show the correct colour for when it comes to showing tooltips
When displaying tooltips [i.e. when the mouse cursor is over a button], Lazarus apparently ignores the colour setting infotext, but still applies the background colour [infobk]. With the default Windows colours [black text on white (or pale yellow?) background] it's not a problem, but if you have your Windows colours set so that tooltips are white text on a black background, Lazarus' tooltips become unreadable, as shown in the attached image.
I should mention that the various colour lists/menus for colour-related settings show the correct colour assigned to infotext, it's just the tooltips that aren't being coloured correctly.
Also, I gave CodeTyphon a go, just on case they'd fixed the prob [they haven't], & noticed that the same prob happens with the CT app [incorrectly coloured tooltips].
Steps to reproduce:
- Set Windows' tooltip colours to white foreground, black background
- Try viewing tooltips in Lazarus
Additional information:
I marked it as major, as without tooltips, Lazarus is pretty-much useless, at least to someone who doesn't know its GUI off-by-heart.
