python - PyDev change background colour of tooltips -

i'm using pydev in eclipse (on ubuntu 12.04). default background colour tooltips black. given of text in tooltips (links function definitions) dark blue, can't read it.

i've looked under preferences->editors->text editors , preferences->pydev->editor can't find appropriate setting.

how can change this?

thanks

edit:

this turns out ubuntu specific bug - exists in versions of ubuntu @ least 12.04. workaround linked in answer below.

these setting default settings eclipse in windows (which use android development)

i haven't faced such issue mentioned you,but yes had faced settings issue appcelerator titanium.

and after applying eclipses setting titanium ide, problem resolved
