I cannot see tooltips in Skype. They are in white text on a white background.

How can I fix this?

  • @MadMike. Where is the "answer-score"? Star? Sorry, I'm French... – Nettlebay AP Jun 03 '16 at 12:44

Installing the following GTK2 rendering engines can help:

sudo apt install gtk2-engines-murrine:i386 gtk2-engines-pixbuf:i386

Had the same problem (Ubuntu MATE 14.04.5).
Solved it when I changed Skype style from "Desktop settings" to "Cleanlooks" (Options > General > "Choose style") and ran qtconfig as described here.
I only changed the font size in qtconfig, didn't do anything specific for tooltips, but they're displayed properly now.
