Thunar Side Pane: how to remove the tooltips?

On the Side Pane of Thunar, I would get rid of all tooltips (only in side pane): what I have to add to ~/.config/gtk-3.0/ ?

Example on this screenshot:

EDIT: I've looked to gtk.css of the system theme Greybird-Dark, and I've found the section about tooltips:
I replicated and changed such section in ~/.config/gtk-3.0/ :

.thunar tooltip {
  font-size: 0px;
  padding: 0px;
  color: transparent;
  border-radius: 0px;
  box-shadow: none; }
  tooltip.background {
    font-size: 0px;
    color: transparent;
    background-color: transparent;
    border: none; }
  tooltip decoration {
    font-size: 0px;
    color: transparent;
    background-color: transparent; }
  tooltip * {
    font-size: 0px;
    padding: 4px;
    background-color: transparent;
    color: transparent; }

I no longer see tooltips.
I have also set font size to 0 because I also slightly see the tiny black text of tooltips.

If I can do it better, let me know.

EDIT 2: NO GOOD: this also removed some tooltips in the panel on the desktop.
