Is it possible to change the color of intellisense in Visual Studio 2010. As you can see in this screen shot. Its virtualy impossible to see the types of the parameters because they're displyed with a white foreground colour on a grey background.
Here's how to change the color theme of the IDE frame and the tool windows in Visual Studio. On the menu bar, choose Tools > Options. In the options list, choose Environment > General. In the Color theme list, choose either the default Dark theme, the Light theme, the Blue theme, or the Blue (Extra Contrast) theme.
Here's your quick reference to the colors and icons in the editor window's right-hand margin: Yellow: The line has been changed but not yet saved. Green: The line has been changed and saved. Orange: The line has been changed, saved, and the change undone. Little square dots in the middle of the margin: Break points.
The fix was to look in Visual studio menu: Resharper > options Then select IntelliSense > General -> use IntelliSense features of: Visual Studio.
Success at last. If you install the Productivity Power Tools addin (http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/d0d33361-18e2-46c0-8ff2-4adea1e34fef)
From version 10.0.10819.19 onwards you get a new option. Namely Colorized Parameter Help which allows you to customize the colors of the parameters and their types.
Excellent, now I can actually see the types of the parameters in the tooltips. Here is some description of the feature that can be found at the link above.
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.
Colorized Parameter Help
There are now specific Fonts & Colors settings to allow you to configure the display of items in Parameter Help. This will allow users with dark backgrounds to be able to customize these to readable.
