There are ways to change the fontsize of, some, but not all, tooltips in Win10.

But I wanna change the tooltip COLOR, like it was possible in WinXP until Win7. Specifically, I want the tooltip background to be BLACK and the tooltip font to be GREEN.

Please help.

I've looked at all the other answers Superuser says that are related, but none of them applied. Unless someone can show me how the likes of:

  • How can I change the color of a BSOD?
  • How can I change the color of the text that I have already written in OneNote?
  • How can I change tab bar color in ConEmu

apply to my question, of course I'd be interested!

After experimenting long and hard I feel I'm entitled to my own answer here:

The key which works for me is:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Colors
with the StringValues of InfoWindow at 0 0 0 (for black background) and InfoText at 0 255 0 (for green text).
works on some tooltips, but not on taskbartooltips.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\Colors doesn't do anything for me.

You can change some colors in regedit. Press Windows Key And R: Type regedit and press Enter. Then find this folder:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\Colors
