I am attaching 4 images.

These show clearly what the default tooltip looks like for each of the browsers:

Mozilla Firefox 27.0.1
Internet Exporer 11.0.3
Google Chrome 33.0
Safari 5.1.7

I can assure you that I have not doctored the images. I can also assure you that these images clearly show the default tooltip effect. (I've even tried this out on 8 different PCs running different operating systems including, Internet Explorer 8 on Windows XP even though K 3.0.5 does not truly support IE 8[ - and I can tell you that the effect is the same^* .)

I think you should try to look at this page again from a different PC.


_____________________
^* Because IE 8 does not support CSS 3.0 and therefore does not support colour gradient (the effect is used in the Blue Eagle template), In IE 8 the tooltip shows as a solid colour - slightly yellowish - but the border is still shadowed.

It seems to be a different with which OS your run this site. Under Linux and Firefox i'll get the yellow background and Black border. If i run the site with chromium or opera i'll get the tooltip with a softly transparent black background. Hope it helps. :whistle:

Thank you for sharing that useful information, supercraft. Indeed, when I wrote earlier that I tested the situation using different browsers on different PCs I did not try testing on a Linux platform. The point that I am trying to make is that it may not matter what CSS is written for a website if the rendering engine on the client browser is incapable of displaying it "properly".

I ran my tests on the following devices:

Compaq Presario desktop	Windows 7 SP1 (64-bit)
Acer Aspire V5 (laptop)	Windows 8.1 (64-bit)
Asus Ultrabook (laptop)	Windows 8.1 Pro (64-bit)
Compaq Presario (desktop)	Windows 8.1 Pro (64-bit)
Compaq Presario (desktop)	Windows 7 SP1 (32-bit)
HP Pavilion (desktop)	Windows 7 SP1 (64-bit)
Acer Aspire (desktop)	Windows 7 SP1 (64-bit)
Asus (desktop)	Windows XP Professional SP3 (32-bit)

I understand that it is possible to run different browsers (including, FF, Google Chrome, IE 11) on a Linux box, but I haven't tried this because I don't have a Linux box and I do not know whether it's this that is causing the CSS not to render the tooltip as I see it rendered on the computers that I am using. Maybe someone else can confirm that Linux behaves differently with those other browsers, too?

I would like to know more about what platform tijj is using.

Thanks
