I am trying to format the appearance of a tool tip tool tip without using a style sheet (I have already set a style sheet for this button and a new style sheet will over rite the old one). so far, I have this:

Qt Code: 
  1. self.ui.taxTables.setToolTip('<b><font color=red><font-size: 24px><background-color: #00ffff>My tool tip message is here')
To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

The bold and the font color work, but the font-size and background color do not. Is it possible to format a tool tip this way? Is the syntax not correct?

thanks
Newbie
