I think thats backwards. I think before they used Window's colors, and then they recently changed it so that the colors are definable by the skin's xml file. Otherwise my MC tooltips would look like my Windows tooltips. Besides, I remember one of the changes in a not-to-recent build of 11 stating that the tooltips colors are now definable through the skins XML file.

At least FRAME/Colors/Face3D in the skin's Main.xml file changes the content pane gridlines and the tooltips background, but I don't know if that's all there is.

This is from Aruba.

Wow... Good job digging that up man. I knew it was there, just didn't feel like putting forth the effort to dig it up.

Now if only we could get the MC crew to chime in on this...
