TooltipWindow border

[balandino_dd]

Hi guys,

I’m trying to add Tooltips to my app, however I’ve some issues. Specifically I cannot remove the faded borer around the tooltip window

This is the code of the LookAndFeel of my app is:

void MyoMapperLookAndFeel::drawTooltip (Graphics& g, const String& text, int width, int height)
{
    Rectangle<int> bounds (width, height);
    const auto cornerSize = 1.0f;
    
    g.setColour (findColour (TooltipWindow::backgroundColourId));
    g.fillRoundedRectangle (bounds.toFloat(), cornerSize);
    
    g.setColour (findColour (TooltipWindow::outlineColourId));
    g.drawRoundedRectangle (bounds.toFloat().reduced (0.5f, 0.5f), cornerSize, 1.0f);
    
    g.setColour (findColour (TooltipWindow::textColourId));
    g.drawFittedText(text, 0, 0, width, height, Justification::centred, 1);
}

Colours are then set in a setup color function which contains:

setColour (TooltipWindow::backgroundColourId, Colour::fromRGB (201, 210, 223));
setColour (TooltipWindow::outlineColourId, Colour::fromRGB (35, 35, 35));
setColour (TooltipWindow::textColourId, Colour::fromRGB (35, 35, 35));

How can I remove the faded border in highlighted in the screenshot just below?

Cheers,
Balandino.

Tooltip Window Background Shadow

I’m trying to add a tooltip window inside of a custom component being created by a class inheriting from TreeViewItem which displays the name of the tree inside the tooltip. Everything seems to work fine, apart from the tooltip has a large rounded rectangle painted behind it (shown below). Removing my customLookAndFeel doesn’t appear to stop this from occurring and scanning through the JUCE library code behind the painting of the tooltip, I can’t seem to find anything which would cause this. An…

If this is something people are doing often and struggling to see what’s causing it, maybe we need an assertion in TooltipWindow to catch the situation when > 1 are visible at once…

@jules fixed it. I got how that works.
