Recently I installed in Visual Studio 2010 the Power Tools Extension It's working great, however I have problems with my text coloring theme (Nightfall), and the extension's Colorized Parameter feature.
Since the theme text fore color is grey, when the Power Tools Extensions shows the Parameter Help tooltip using my text colors, it gets unreadable:
Is there a way to change Parameter Help background color?
Here's how to change it to a different color theme. On the menu bar, select Tools > Options. In the options list, select Environment > General. In the Color theme list, choose between the default Dark theme, the Blue theme, the Blue (Extra Contrast) theme, and the Light theme.
Change the color theme 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.
Within the Visual Studio Designer, under the properties window you are able to select the ForeColor , BackColor etc using color picker. When you want to pick a color, a color picker comes up with the tabs 'Custom, Web, System'.
For your requirement, you can change the default color of entire Visual Studio's user interface with the following steps: Tools > Option > Environment > General > Color Theme .
Ok finally I´ve found the answer here:
Akil Burgess Hi,
You can customize the background color of the parameter help tooltip using the option at "Tools->Options->Environment->Fonts and Colors->Signature Help Tooltip Background". Modifying the background color should make this feature work better with your dark theme.
I hope this helps! AkilI hope this helps! Akil
I done it yesterday and now it looks great!
