I need help with theming

Hello,
Im using Antergos with XFCE. My theme is Numix-Frost. I made some customizing in the gtk-2.0 - file. It works fine.
My tooltip-color is black (#000000) with alpha 80%.
But the tooltips of the pulseaudio-plugin and xfce4-clipman-plugin and the notification area in the systray are solid grey.
How can i change this?

Many thanks for your help! And sorry for my english!

Re: I need help with theming

Hello and welcome.

The pulseaudio and clipman plugins are GTK3 now. The notification area is not, but perhaps you are referring to an indicator in that area that is GTK3.

That being the case, put this into ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css:

tooltip {
  border-radius: 2px;
  box-shadow: none; }
  tooltip.background {
    background-color: rgba(255, 0, 0, 0.95);
    background-clip: padding-box; }
    tooltip.background label {
      padding: 4px; }
  tooltip decoration {
    background-color: transparent; }
  tooltip * {
    background-color: transparent;
    color: #BAC3CF; }

...tweak the "background-color" and "color" (foreground) colours to taste, save the file and restart the panel to see the effect.
