The Tooltip can be customized by using the cssClass property, which accepts custom CSS class names that define specific user-defined styles and themes to be applied on the Tooltip element.

Tip pointer customization

Styling the tip pointer’s size, background, and border colors can be done using the cssClass property, as given below.

import { TooltipModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-popups'
import { ButtonModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-buttons'



import { Component, ViewEncapsulation } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
imports: [
        
        TooltipModule,
        ButtonModule
    ],


standalone: true,
    selector: 'my-app',
    template: `
    <ejs-tooltip id="tooltip" content='Tooltip arrow customized' cssClass='custom-tip'>
            Show tooltip
    </ejs-tooltip>
    `,
