That would be great, it should not be too much work but needs to be done
ASAP. The only theme currently using it is Clearlooks. All other themes
are not yet updated but really should be. I can work on this, but it
would be great if someone could help. (It is a relative simple change,
but needs to be done and tested for every theme.)

This should not be an issue, from a theming point of view the new
tooltips API is pretty much the same. (There was one issue I know of
with the border width, but that is fixed #467003).
