Popup enables pop ups used by company and other packages. Sets also a few fallback default colors.


(use-package popup
:config
(set-face-attribute 'popup-scroll-bar-foreground-face nil :background "#464f60" :inherit nil)
(set-face-attribute 'popup-scroll-bar-background-face nil :background "#263146" :inherit nil )
(set-face-attribute 'popup-menu-selection-face nil :inherit nil :background "#464f60" :foreground "#ffffff" )
(set-face-attribute 'popup-face nil :inherit nil :background "#263146" :foreground "#ffffff" )
; add some shotcuts in popup menu mode
(define-key popup-menu-keymap (kbd "C-i") 'popup-select)
(define-key popup-menu-keymap (kbd "C-n") 'popup-next)
(define-key popup-menu-keymap (kbd "C-p") 'popup-previous)
);end popup

Tooltip pops up on mouse over, but it is helpful even if you don’t use the mouse.

When Tooltip mode is off, Emacs displays help text in the echo area, instead of in a pop-up window.



(set-face-attribute 'tooltip nil :inherit nil :background "gray96")
(tooltip-mode 1)

Pos-tip Configuration

Pos-tip allows tooltip to be located at various places in the buffer, and provides some faces.




(use-package pos-tip
:config
(setq pos-tip-foreground-color "#FFC300")
(setq pos-tip-background-color "#2471A3")
(setq pos-tip-background-color "#2471A3")
(setq pos-tip-foreground-color "#FFC300")
;(pos-tip-w32-max-width-height)
;(pos-tip-w32-max-width-height t)
