Sure this easy to change, but I would prefer to focus more effort on the bigger picture right now which is to continue to define our standards instead of changing small items. That way we create a much stronger sense of consistency across the board. I think this is a good item to look at to spark a bigger discussion around all of our system notifications/tooltips.
Some guidelines for tooltips would also be helpful for the Wikidata project, to try to create some consistency.

Okay, so here's something that can be fixed.
Go here:

Scroll to the bottom. Click the "Skip this step in the future" checkbox.
Note the tooltip that appears.
It's awful. It's just plain horrible. Why?
- It's the same color as the background.
- the border color is nigh-invisible.
- the pokey bit is too shallow (which makes it invisible to people with
bad vision).
I want to make a better one.
Any thoughts, or does anyone want to take this?
