Documentation

Use the toolkit to display tooltips.

This option is only meaningful when Emacs is built with GTK+ or Haiku windowing support, and results in tooltips that look like those displayed by other GTK+ or Haiku programs, but will not be able to display text properties inside tooltip text.

This variable was added, or its default value changed, in Emacs 29.1.

View in manual

Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 29.1.
