                                                        int y)
        Returns the screen coordinates for the monitor that contains the specified point. This is useful for setups with multiple monitors, to ensure that popup windows are positioned properly.
        Parameters:

        y - The y-coordinate, in screen coordinates.
        Returns:

        public static Color getToolTipBackground()
        Returns the default background color to use for tool tip windows.
        Returns:
        The default background color.
      • getToolTipBorder

        public static Border getToolTipBorder()
        Returns the border used by tool tips in this look and feel.
        Returns:
        The border.
      • tweakTipEditorPane

        public static void tweakTipEditorPane​(JEditorPane textArea)
        Tweaks a JEditorPane so it can be used to render the content in a focusable pseudo-tool tip. It is assumed that the editor pane is using an HTMLDocument.
        Parameters:
        textArea - The editor pane to tweak.
      • setFont

        public static void setFont​(HTMLDocument doc,
                                   Font font,
                                   Color fg)
        Sets the default font for an HTML document (e.g., in a tool tip displaying HTML). This is here because when rendering HTML, setFont() is not honored.
        Parameters:
        doc - The document to modify.
        font - The font to use.
        fg - The default foreground color.
