Need help with Cadence Virtuoso pop-ups display

Phong Phan

Dear all,

When I hover my mouse to a command option in Cadence Virtuoso, the pop-ups that explain about the command is very transparent and almost unreadable. Please see the picture below (screenshot in Layout suite gxl) for reference.

It doesn't look as bad as shown in the picture. But it's almost unreadable. I can't find any display options to change the text/box color.

Any help would be extremely appreciated. Thank you everyone and have a nice day!

Phong

    You might want to take a look at this post which references an article with some details. Or this post. Or maybe this post!

    I simply searched for "tooltip" in the forums to find these.

    Hi Andrew,

    Thank you! I solved the problem following your tips & links.

    Perhaps a more up-to-date path to the Tooltip setting would be: System Settings > Colors > Edit Scheme > Tooltip text to black & tooltip background to white.
