Description
I am using a dark scheme in my Kubuntu 9.04 (KDE 4.2.2). The colors of the help tips (when mouse-over'ing over the filenames) are not readable. Seems like the text color there is hardcoded to black. The tooltips in other applications (gimp, skype, paraview etc.) appear fine.

One more comment to the previous one (10 mins ago).
The fg text color IS respected for the tooltips of the toolbar icons. It is only not respected (always black) for the tooltips for the files.

I went to the color settings in KDE and was able to influence the bg color of those tooltips by "tooltip background" (System Settings/Appearance/Colors?). But "tooltip forground" is not respected. I do not have "black" for ANY text in my settings yet this is the color used as fg in those tool tips. So I assume black is somehow hardcoded. I quickly checked KTorrent and he respects "tooltip forground" whike Kdesvn not.

Ok, I changed in r1928 how tooltips are generated (I don't like it this way cause missing auto-hide but may now tooltips are complete handled from system itself)

quote from QT ToolTip? system description:
Note: Tool tips use the inactive color group of QPalette, because tool tips are not active windows.
-> check your colorsettings for inactive windows. I'd looked around, all kde4 applications uses the same colors setup for tooltip if them print tooltips. Skype is NOT using kde - it uses another (own) color scheme (not dark), paraview same.
