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 to the Tooltip element.

Tip pointer customization

The tip pointer’s size, background, and border colors can be styled using the cssClass property, as shown below.

app.component.ts
main.ts
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'
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>
    `,
    styles: [`

bootstrapApplication(AppComponent).catch((err) => console.error(err));

The complete look and feel of the Tooltip can be customized by changing its background color, opacity, content font, etc.
The following code example demonstrates how to achieve this customization.

styles.css
main.ts
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'
import { TooltipModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-popups'



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

@Component({
imports: [
        
        TooltipModule
    ],


standalone: true,
    selector: 'my-app',
    template: `<ejs-tooltip id="tooltip" content='Tooltip customized' cssClass='customtooltip'>
            Show tooltip
    </ejs-tooltip>
    `,
    styleUrls: ['styles.css'],
    encapsulation: ViewEncapsulation.None
})

export class AppComponent {
}
@import 'node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-base/styles/material.css';
@import 'node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-angular-popups/styles/material.css';
