Jump to PostYou can subclass JToolTip to create a custom appearance etc, then subclass the control in question to override its public JToolTip createToolTip() method (inherited from JComponent) to return an instance of your customised JToolTip subclass.

UIManager.put("ToolTip.foreground", new ColorUIResource(Color.WHITE));
UIManager.put("ToolTip.background",new ColorUIResource(176,23,31));
UIManager.put("ToolTip.font", new FontUIResource(Font.SANS_SERIF,Font.BOLD,16));We can use to change fonts , fore groud, background and border without sub classing JToolTip...
Just Write before setting ToolTip for any component.

that really wrong way, but in other hands works too, but for whole JVM instance
post by @JamesCherrill goes another direction, then could it be same as you set any methotds for JLabel, JPanel ....
that isn't Custom JToolTip, just override vanilla UI
