Fix

I20100520-1744, follow-up to bug 312966

Java source hovers are not readable using Ubuntu 10.04 (which uses white-on-black tooltips by default), see e.g. attachment 168593 [details].

The fix is to use a better "System Default" if the brightness of the Java editor default text color is too close to the hover background color (resorting to the editor background color in that case).
Comment 1 Markus Keller CLA 2010-06-23 09:55:05 EDT 
Fixed in HEAD.

Reopening for 3.6.1.
Comment 5 Dani Megert CLA 2010-08-19 02:40:37 EDT 
+1 for 3.6.1 RC2 with a minor change: SourceViewerInformationControl.getVisibleBackgroundColor needs 3.6.1 @since tag and not 3.6. Fixed that in HEAD.

Fixed for 3.6.1 including the @since tag fix.

Verified all hovers on M20100825-0800 with Ubuntu 10.04.

Verified that its no longer white on black but the new colors aren't great either :) See attached image.

This bug is about source hovers (hold Shift while hovering in the Java Editor) and change ruler hovers. Bug 313530 was about updating hover colors when they change in the OS.

If the native tooltips on your OS look different from our Javadoc hovers, please file a separate bug and attach screenshots of native hovers (e.g. from gEdit buttons) and of an SWT tooltip (e.g. on a toolbar button) for comparison.
