Description Christian CLA 2008-10-01 18:38:53 EDT 
display.getSystemColor(SWT.COLOR_INFO_BACKGROUND)

Returns on Vista a light yellow.
While the native ToolTips have a light grey background. (Actually with sort of a gradient)
Comment 1 Steve Northover CLA 2008-10-03 10:35:07 EDT 
I'm not sure I can do much about this.  Gradients can't be captured in by a single color.
Comment 2 Christian CLA 2008-10-03 14:27:43 EDT 
It would be nice to have somehow the possibility to fake a realistic looking tooltip.  

Simplest solution for the enduser I could think of would be to implement a new style constant  for CLabel to give it an alike look with a tooltip.
May be that would be possible.
Comment 3 Christian CLA 2008-10-03 14:29:17 EDT 
Anyway ...

It would just be nice if that current behaviour would be documented with the constant.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
