Tooltip for GWT

GWT does provide tooltip with something like:

Label label = new Label("test");
label.setTitle("This is a tooltip");

Is there a way to style such tooltips? Is there a library for GWT that supports this?

Edit: How do I set the time for the tooltip to appear?

The real answer to your question is : No, native tooltip style can't be modified.

Alternatives are creating your own tooltips:

Note that if you keep using the title attribute the native tooltip will be shown over your custom tooltip.

You can use GWTQuery for doing tooltip, there are a Plugin for that. GwtQuery is a clone of JQuery but build in java.

You can find the demo here :

With this sample code, you can create toolkit for all title in the page :

$("[title]", toolbar).as(Tooltip).tooltip();

You can use CSS First, you add the style you want in your css Then you set that style to the element you want with label.setStyleName("myStyle");
