I am using Elasticsearch and Kibana v.7.6.1 and Vega v.4.3.0.  
I added `tooltips:false` in configuration of Vega to show full length of text in tooltips. Unless I add this code, the text does not show up in full length if it's too long.

The code I added is below.

```auto
"config":{"kibana":{"tooltips":false}},

```

I wonder if there is a way to change the white to another color of tooltips to recognize easily if it's tooltip area or graph area.

Hi m-amano,

I've looked at the source code, unfortunately it is not possible to set the background color of the tooltip. The setting allows to set it to `true/false` like in your example, or an extended config can be provided with `position`, `padding`, `centerOnMark` and `textTruncate` settings but there is no color option.
