Anytime I write a variable's name I get this annoying IDK green or yellow highlight . What is it ? how to get rid of it?
Image here:
This black color bar comes from the Fixable Error of Annotations . So just changing the background of this Fixable Error category from dark color to any color will do the work. (Have to close and re-open the code editor to see the change) .
Try this : Tools->Options->Fonts & Colors. Syntax.
I know this is an old question but I thought what I have discovered might help others. :)
I had the same annoying problem and no matter what I could not remove the highlighting with the Tools->Fonts & Colours option mentioned here.
What actually did work is the Tools->Editor->Highlighting and turn off the "Mark Occurrences of Symbol Under Caret".
You can change the background color in Tools → Options → Fonts & Colors. Here you select Language: "C++" and Category: "Mark Occurrences." Select a different background color and be happy!
It was so annoying to me too.
