Here is a screenshot of a contact tooltip with Empathy and GTK+ master. This uses to work fine few days ago so I guess that's a regression from the style refactoring.

New look using current GTK3 master. It's better but there should not have an extra rectangle inside the tooltip.

I think this is fixed with latest GTK+ and gnome-themes-standard. Please reopen if you can still reproduce, thanks.

Doesn't seem fixed actually. Here is a screenshot with GTK+ and gnome-theme-standard master (why is it green btw?!).

I'm seeing the same issue as in comment 1, in 3.8.6. It seems to me that the problem is coming from this rule in gtk/resources/theme/gtk-default.css:

  .tooltip,
  .tooltip * {
    background-color: @tooltip_bg_color;
    color: @tooltip_fg_color;
    border-color: @tooltip_fg_color;
    border-width: 1px;
    border-style: solid;
  }

Why are the border styles being applied to ".tooltip *"?

If I add a rule to ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css overriding border-width and border-style for ".tooltip *", the problem goes away.

Does this still apply with latest 3.13.x?
Comment 6 Jakub Steiner 2014-08-04 11:52:04 UTC 
Empathy tooltips are white text over semi-opaque black bg in gtk+ 3.13.x. Feel free to reopen if I missed something.
