[SOLVED] Libreoffice tooltips unreadable

Since upgrading to KDE 4.7.0, the tooltips in libreoffice are unreadable (black text on black background). I've gone through all the libreoffice settings I can find but I don't see anywhere where I can change the tooltip colours. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks.

You're using a dark theme? There's fixes for dark themes floating around (more like hacks than fixes, but I use one of them), google should find them for you.

I've managed to fix it thanks by changing the tooltip background colour, which was pretty obvious really after having a good look around System Settings.
Application Appearance -> Colours -> Colours -> Colour set:Tooltip -> Normal Background is where it's at

I should have looked there before posting, I suppose.

Ditto here but no joy with the systemsettings settings and I use the standard colour scheme - nowt fancy.

EDIT:

Ouch, I didn't realize that I had to change the background colour to white but simply expected a "spoon fed" solution. Perhaps I shouldn't have used Mint the other day...
