#10935: GUI: REMASTERED THEME: Clean up tooltip presentation.

------------------------+--------------------
 The remastered theme changes the tooltip’s font to the same font used by
 all other GUI components.

 This significantly changes the dynamics of the tooltip, highlighting
 deficiencies in other areas of its design (see attached images).

 Recommended changes:

 - allow at least 2 pixels of separation between the text and each edge of
 the tooltip container.

 - outline the container on all sides with a border that matches the
 tooltip’s text colour.

 - replace the current hit-and-miss shadow effect (depends on its proximity
 to the screen edge) with the newer and more subtle button-style shadow.

 - if an object already contains a text label (i.e. most buttons and all
 options), related tooltips should end with a period (“.”), since these are
 additional explanations or instructions for the user, not labels.

 The current fill colour works well against darker backgrounds (such as the
 Launcher & Save/Load screens), and should be fine on lighter backgrounds
 (Options tabs) once enclosed by an appropriate border.

 However, if the separation between the tooltip and objects with the same
 or similar fill colour isn’t clear, then an alternative fill colour should
 be considered.

 Thanks for your consideration.
