I'm using the Dark theme from the Visual Studio 2012 themes. I have installed the VS 2012 color theme editor. What I want to do is change the background color that appears in the Error list when you select an error.
Presently that background color is a highly saturated bright blue. Text for errors is white. The white on bright blue is difficult to read. I want to tone that blue down. But I can't locate the property in the color theme editor that will adjust that. What color attribute can I adjust in the editor to change that? Thanks.

Visual Studio provides an environment color service, also called the VSColor service or the shell color service. This service allows you to bind the color values of your UI elements to a name-value color set containing colors for each theme.
On the menu bar, which is the row of menus such as File and Edit, choose Tools > Options. On the Environment > General options page, change the Color theme selection to Dark, and then choose OK. The color theme for the entire Visual Studio development environment (IDE) changes to Dark.
I had a similar issue when finding and replacing strings with the Visual Studio 2013 Dark Theme. The search would highlight all the found items light blue. When I went to select a part of the highlighted string, it would highlight the selected portion with a nearly identical color making it very difficult to tell what part of the string was highlighted for edit.
I went into TOOLS -> Options... -> Fonts and Colors -> Text Editor -> Selected Text and changed it to 'Yellow' which is working well for me.
