Issue about XML summary comments in VBNET

Question

Intellisense is not showing my parameter names in blue color like I saw in other xml comments from 3rd party projects where Intellisense prints all the information, this is what I see:

What modifications I need to do in my comments to let intellisense to print the parameter comments in blue as the "returns"?

    ''' <summary>
    ''' Function to pause a thread.
    ''' </summary>
    ''' 
    ''' <param name="Process_Name">The name of the process, ex: cmd.exe</param>
    ''' <param name="Thread_Number">The thread to pause, ex: 0</param>
    ''' <param name="Recursive"> <value name="True">Pause the thread in all processes recursively</value></param>
    ''' <returns>True if the process is found; otherwise, False.</returns>
    Public Shared Function Pause_Thread(ByRef Process_Name As String, _
                              Optional ByVal Thread_Number As Int32 = 0, _
                              Optional ByVal Recursive As Boolean = False) As Boolean

From what I see you are looking for the Colorized Parameter Help.

Colorized Parameter Help This extension improves consistency with the editor by applying syntax highlighting to the contents of the Parameter Help window for C# &VB. Please note: Syntax highlighting colors can be customized using the display items prefixed with “Signature Help” in the “Fonts and Colors” menu.

Try Tools->Options->Environment->Fonts and Colors->Signature Help Tooltip Background.
