You can create a customized tooltip theme for your web application. In this tutorial, we will introduce you how to do.

<script src="https://unpkg.com/@popperjs/core@2/dist/umd/popper.min.js"></script> <script src="https://unpkg.com/tippy.js@6/dist/tippy-bundle.umd.js"></script>
Create a customized theme for tooltip
The basic structure of tooltip theme must be:
<div data-tippy-root style="display:none;">
<div class="tippy-box" data-placement="top">
<div class="tippy-content">
</div>
</div>
</div>
We can set the style of tippy-box with css.
Set the style of your customized tooltip theme
In this tutorial, we only change the background and font color of tooltip, you can set the style as follow:
.tippy-box[data-theme~='te'] {
background-color: tomato;
color: #ffffff;
}
.tippy-box[data-theme~='te'][data-placement^='top'] > .tippy-arrow::before {
border-top-color: tomato;
}
.tippy-box[data-theme~='te'][data-placement^='bottom'] > .tippy-arrow::before {
border-bottom-color: tomato;
}
.tippy-box[data-theme~='te'][data-placement^='left'] > .tippy-arrow::before {
border-left-color: tomato;

.tippy-box[data-theme~='te'][data-placement^='right'] > .tippy-arrow::before {
border-right-color: tomato;

content: "This is a customized tippy.js theme!",
theme: 'te'
});
</script>
