Just set the UIDefaults for the background of the tooltip...
J
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class TooltipSample {
public static void main(String args[]) {
JFrame frame = new JFrame("Tooltip Colors");
UIDefaults defaults = UIManager.getDefaults();
defaults.put("ToolTip.background", Color.yellow);
JButton button = new JButton ("Yellow");
button.setToolTipText("Hi");
Container c = frame.getContentPane();
c.add(button, BorderLayout.CENTER);
frame.setSize(350, 250);
frame.setVisible(true);
}
}
