Re: Colors of tooltips in themes

[Fred Kiefer]

I have added two additional colours to NSColor: toolTipColor and 
toolTipTextColor. They now get used in the tool tip display code. The easiest 
way to adjust these colours in a theme is by using a colour list in the theme 
where these colours are set to the desired values.
