In KDevelop, when you change the name of a variable, a function or the definition of a function, a little message appears below the editor (see image). In this instance it says "Declare function 'get' as: 1 public cv::Matx34f". However, I can't read this because the background is ?brown? and the text is black.

This changed after upgrading to Kubuntu 11.10. Before that it used to be a light blue background.

How do I get that old background back? I tried under Setting>Editor>Fonts&Colors but there are thousands of options. I also tried under system settings>appearance. No luck either.

The offending colour scheme.

Okay, found it. A friend told me, it's called a "tooltip" and can be changed under System Settings > Application Appearance > Colors > Colors > Tooltip Background. This of course is troublesome, as the Tooltip Text is white by default.

So, I put it back to how it was in 11.04: Black text on light blue. The light blue has the value #BEDFF.
