Tooltip background?

Perdrix

I've set a tooltip on a QDockWidget title bar widget (a QLabel). The label has a gradient as a background. The tooltip is displayed with a background that seems to be derived from the background I specified for the label but it renders the tip very hard to read.

How can I get the tooltip to display without that background it has invented for itself (or with the same one as the label)?

Thanks D.

@Perdrix How do you set a gradient for the label? Through a palette brush, stylesheet, custom paint? If it's through a stylesheet it's just a question of scoping it to the label only.
For example if you do "color: red" it will apply to the widget and all its children, including the tooltip, but if you do "QLabel { color: red }" it will only apply to the label or "QToolTip { color: red }" only to the tooltip.

That was it! Changing the code to read:

dockTitle->setStyleSheet(QString::fromUtf8("QLabel {"
	"background: qlineargradient(spread:pad, x1:0, y1:0, x2:1, y2:0, "
	"stop:0 rgba(138, 185, 242, 0), stop:1 rgba(138, 185, 242, 255))}"));

solved the problem.

Big thank you!
