Re: Tklib tooltip usage problem with configure

I have added tooltips to some widgets and they work fine. For example:
 package require tooltip
 ...
     tooltip::tooltip $panel.optionsButton "Modal Show/Hide"
 But the tooltips come with a sort of blue/grey background whereas I prefer
the more traditional light yellow.
 So I tried this:
 tooltip::tooltip configure -background yellow and got this:
 Error in startup script: invalid command name ".__tooltip__.label"
     while executing
"$b.label configure $opt"
     (procedure "configure" line 13)
     invoked from within
"configure {*}$args"
     (procedure "tooltip::tooltip" line 34)
     invoked from within
"tooltip::tooltip configure -background yellow"
     (procedure "test::make" line 11)
     invoked from within
...
 It is no different if I use ::tooltip::tooltip. And I get a similar error
if I just try to print the config options, e.g.,
 puts [tooltip::tooltip configure]

That blue/grey background and the error message generated by "tooltip::tooltip configure" are caused by some bugs in version 1.8 of the tooltip package.  These bugs are now fixed in the latest tooltip version 1.8.2.  I suggest you to check out this new version, in which the default tooltip background is lightyellow (again) and "tooltip::tooltip configure" works as expected.
