Eclipse - black background in javadoc popup

I am using Elementary OS, based on Ubuntu 12.04 and Eclipse Luna. The background color of javadoc popups is black and font color is dark grey, so it is unreadable. I tried to change background in eclipse preferences, but it did not change. Then I used google, and found solution, that I need to change tooltip bg color. So I did it. But still no change. Anyone knows how to change that color ?

I would get a blank assist popup window and if I clicked on the window it would turn black and not show any text. I tried many things to get the text to show up like changing the eclipse foreground and back ground colors or the above system settings. I then started to look at the VcXsrv X server program I was running to display on my windows box. I turned off the 'Native opengl' in the 'Extra Settings' screen of the XLaunch program. This fixed my problem.

I had the same problem with Ubuntu 16.04 and Eclipse Mars. I solved the problem by adding the following lines in eclipse.ini :

--launcher.GTK_version

As a KDE user, you have to change the tooltip background color with System Settings. Navigate to

Application Apperearence -> Colors (Left side menu) -> Colors (Colors tab on right side)

and adjust the Tooltip Background and Tooltip Text colors. In your case, adjusting the tooltip background should be enough.

The setting is under GNOME UBUNTU in Settings.
