background colour of popup info box in eclipse

I am using eclipse CDT on xubuntu. It works perfectly. The only problem is that the background colour of the pop up box that appears when you put the mouse over a variable for instance will have a background colour of black.

Sometimes some of the text in this box will be black as well. I then have to select all text inside the box to read what is in there. For the life of me I cannot figure out where to change that background black colour...

Does anybody here know perhaps please.
