Visual Studio 2010 - Productivity Power Tools - Highlight Current Line's colour resets on VS reload

Question

I have Visual Studio 2010 Pro installed with "Productivity Power Tools" being the only extention and "Highlight Current Line" the only option enbled on that extention.

I then change the colour of the "Current Line (Extention)" to a darker colour (as my background is black not white and the light grey is to harsh)

BUT every time I open/restart Visual Stuio 2010 the current line is highlighted with the default light grey colour again. I can correct this by opening up "Tools", "Options...", "Enviroment", "Fonts and Colors" and clicking "OK" but I need to do this EVERY TIME I load VS2010.

Does anyone know a work around or solution to this?

Thanks in Advance.

EDIT: Just to be clear the settings are NOT lost they are just not applied after I start VS2010 until I enter the "Fonts and Colors" option section and just click OK.

I don't even need to change or reapply the settings as they are already there! I suspect a fault in the power tools extension but from what I have read on the site MS aren't updating them now as they are working on the next version of VS.

Answer 1

I know of no real reason this is happening to you. I suggest you get the latest updates of Visual Studio 2010 and Power Tools if you haven't already.

As a work around you might save your settings through the Tools|Import and Export Settings menu. Export only Options>Environment>Fonts and Colors
