    Question blck box when hovering over anything

    I just upgraded to Intrepid and it did screw with my appearance and theme but most of that was resolved. But one thing I can't figure out is that whenever I hover over anything, the box that pops up is just black.

    I tried both nvidia accelerated driver versions 177 and 173, neither solved this. I tried looking through some settings in compiz, but you'd be surprised how much you hover over things to get more information about it, and obviously I can't do that right now.

    Anyone have any idea about this? Here's a screen shot of the problem. It happens for any hover text, not just firefox.

    I had this problem and solved by following general troubleshooting instructions on the Compiz wiki (google).But I don't know if your problem is compiz related since your post only mentions nvidia.

    I do not think this it is a problem with compiz as it still happens even when I am not using compiz at all. The troubleshooting guide of the compiz wiki had a section that was just for black windows. I just have black hover text. I tried their solution anyway, but it didn't work. Any other ideas?

    I never meant the black window bug since that is clearly unrelated.I was just wondering if your problem was compiz related.Maybe someone else can suggest something.Only thing i can think of is to check
    appearence>theme>customize>colors and see what colors are selected there.

    Embarrassingly enough, that was what was wrong. Text and bgcolor were both set to black. Don't know how that happened, but thanks.
