yellow box

[jammer5]

When I hover over a clickable icon, or anything clickable for that matter, a yellow box pops up telling me I'm basically hovering over a clickable object and telling me what it is. Since I already know, as the name is there already, this is quite annoying. If I'm using Chromium, and watch a movie, or something, the yellow box persists until I close chromium. Is there any way to get rid of it for good? I can find nothing anywhere that would help me so far.

I'm running mint cinnamon 17.1, the latest chrome and firefox.

I've tried pretty much everything. As for a screenshot, I'm having a problem copying the screenshot and adding it to the reply. It keeps putting in the link to where I keep it, and not the shot itself. I can't figure out how to include it. Figured the screenshot part out. As you can see, the yellow box is above the Linux Mint Forum on the panel. That's what I'm trying to get rid of. Thanks.

I tried that and it didn't do anything. I think it's part of mint, and my not be able to eliminate it. here's another screenshot showing it in a different spot. https://imageshack.com/i/p8gXCzGHp Just wondering if anybody's dealt with it before.
Thanks.

The tooltip popup that you are talking about is controlled by the Cinnamon theme.
It could be that you are using a theme which is not completely compatible with Cinnamon 2.4.6
Try switching to a different Desktop theme. Mint-X is the default.

If you look at the cinnamon.css file for your theme, go to the Tooltip section.
It will look like this:

Code: Select all

#Tooltip {
	border: 1px solid rgba(212,185,67,1.0);
	border-radius: 4px;
	padding: 2px 12px;
	background-gradient-end: rgba(251,234,159,0.9);
	background-gradient-start: rgba(254,245,198,0.9);
	background-gradient-direction: vertical;
	color: #000000;
	font-size: 8.5pt;
	font-weight: normal;
	text-align: center;
}

It may help to add another line for transition-duration: 100;
So that it looks like this

Code: Select all

#Tooltip {
	border: 1px solid rgba(212,185,67,1.0);
	border-radius: 4px;
	padding: 2px 12px;
	background-gradient-end: rgba(251,234,159,0.9);
	background-gradient-start: rgba(254,245,198,0.9);
	background-gradient-direction: vertical;
	color: #000000;
	font-size: 8.5pt;
	font-weight: normal;
	text-align: center;
   transition-duration: 100;
}

I checked the theme I was using, and it is Mint x. I looked in .themes, and it was empty. Right clicking it doesn't do anything. I looked in themes in settings, and everything seems okay there. I can find no cinnamon.css file anywhere. I'm stumped. Thanks for all your help. I can live with it I guess.

Mint-X is ordinarily found in /usr/share/themes/ not .themes
.themes is for extra themes which you might install.

Open cinnamon.css in your text editor with this command:

Code: Select all

gksudo gedit /usr/share/themes/Mint-X/cinnamon/cinnamon.css

Okay. Cinnamon css found and line added. Did no affect the box. I tried deleting lines in windows list, but that had no affect either. I think it's in css someplace, but I haven't found it yet.
