Q:

Eclipse in Ubuntu: hover background color property, where?

I changed the background color that is visible when hovering code (to black). For example when you hover over a method, you see its signature in a box; I mean the background color of that box.
I want to rechange it but I don't find the property anywhere. Do you know which property it is?
(It should be a global property, because other boxes use the same background color, even the heap status box).

A:

It might be too late. But I think you need to change this from your OS.
System->Preference->Appearance->Customise->Colors->Tooltips 
solved my problem.
I am using Ubuntu 10.04.

A:

Preferences -> Java -> Editor -> "Source hover background"?
Edit: OK, do you mean the tooltip type popup window? The background color of the View to show Javadoc can be set in Preferences "General -> Appearance -> Colrs and Fonts -> Javadoc view background" but if you mean a tooltip type popup then you might have to set this in your OS.

A:

In KDE 11.10, System Settings->Application Appearance->Colors(on left)->Colors(tab)->Color Set->Tooltop->Normal Background.  Mine was set to black, resulting in black on black in Eclipse.
