Hi,
In STM32CubeIDE code editor when I go over a variable or function the tool tip window that opens and shows the declaration of variable or implementation of the function - the window has a black (very dark background ) and text is also black and not visible.
Can anyone tell me where can I change the background color or text color of this tool tip window?
Regards,
Cristian

Hi,
there are so many elements to choose, just try yourself, to get the colors you like:
right click in editor window -> preferences
you see:
- or
in menu : Window -> Preferences -> General -> Appearance
+ on some colors/settings , IDE needs restart, to get all colors set .

Thanks for helping.
I tried and changed some of these colors but the text of the code is still not visible - probably the background color and the text color are the same.
The suggested "content assist... " parameters are not related to this issue

Hmm...
for me the dark background on hover is fine, because i have dark background and bright/colored text;
but you have text dark on white background; so you should change color of text or background for hover, i think.
maybe : source hover -> my setting
