    The pop-up box in QT Creator is hideous on my system. It's hwite on cream. Unreadable.

    This is what I mean:

    This is a fresh installation of QT-Creator. I tried chaning the colour scheme (to inkpot) but it made no difference to the colours of this pop-up. Where can I control the colours of this pop-up so I can read it?

      If I'm not wrong, the help popup is drawn from the system theme. I can't find any setting in Qt Creator to change that.

        Check "this":https://qt-project.org/forums/viewthread/36337
        May be you can try to add a stylesheet for ToolTip.

          That would explain why I couldn't find it either. System colour scheme tastic. I'm using Gnome 3.something and flipping to the system "dark" theme swung it right back round to legible.

            p3c0 posted an interesting link. I have actually tried it and it works; but I have only tested the styles provided in the links, I'm not sure how to handle a tooltip. You should really try it :)
