I have a VS 2022 Theme that doesn't address the Tabs toolbar colors. I have a VSTheme Project for it, so can fix it, but I don't know where the colors are in the "All Elements" tab.
Does anyone know how to colorize these elements in the VSTheme Project Editor?
Seems the majority of the color settings are called "FileTab" (example, to change the background color, look for FileTabActiveGroupBackground).
Here is a broken down screenshot of some of the color controls:

I am using the Color Theme Editor extension for Visual Studio 2017, and I'm having trouble changing the color of a particular section in the editor tooltips.
In the example below, I cannot figure out how to customize the bit with the white background - the method signature from the tooltip showing method overloads.
I have figured out how to customize pretty much everything else with the tooltips, except for that highlighted section. For example, Environment -> Tooltip will set the background of the entire tooltip (strangely enough the Environment -> Tooltip -> Background setting doesn't seem to do anything...).
Does anyone happen to know how to control the colors for the text highlighted in white in the example?
It looks like that particular color is messed up when you change theme.
Restart Visual Studio and then the color should be OK.
I get the same issue when I change the Tooltip text background with Color Theme Editor extension. And I have submit this issue to Q&A of Color Theme Editor extension for Visual Studio 2017.

Still a problem in Visual Studio Community 2019 v16.3.6; still the same solution (restarting) works.
How can I change the color of Visual Studio's scroll bar when it's in map mode? This is picture of what it looks like for me right now.
Basically, I just need to make the colors transparent so they blend in with the background. This used to be part of Productivity Power Tools, and I remember you could change the colors in those settings. But in Visual Studio 2015 it's been built into the IDE and there's no obvious settings for the colors.
I am also using the Color Theme Editor extension, but if the color setting is editable from there, I can't find it.
I know it's possible to change these colors because I've changed it before (my colors got reset recently). Does anyone know where these settings are?
The colors are changeable using the Color Theme Editor extension by changing the "Text Editor -> Overview" colors. Specifically "Text Editor -> Overview background -> Background" and "Text Editor -> Overview visible -> Background".
I don't know what the office name of this feature is, but in Visual Studio 2015 you get a neat preview dialog when hovering your mouse over a collapsed method or function. The preview dialog will show the first 20 or so lines of that method/function. What I want to do is customize the background color that preview dialog/popup. I cannot for the life of me find the appropriate Fonts and Colors setting which controls this and I don't know what to look for in the Visual Studio Color Theme Editor either.
Here is a picture of what I am referring to:
I have a customized dark theme but want to change the sickly, pale brownish-yellow color of the highlighted preview dialog to make the code more readable.
Any suggestions as to what color/theme settings I'd change? I don't want to just apply a different theme. I want to customize my current one.
I've tried to make my Visual Studio more beautyful, so I downloaded Son of Obsidian color scheme from here. And then everething is okay, except scrollbars. Scrollbars are now not Visual Studio 2012 cool custom scrollbars, but Windows default scrollbars. I've tried to resel all preferences using "Import and Export options..." menu, but this won't work. Colors returned to default state, but scrollbars are the same Windows scrollbars. By the way, I'm using Dark theme. So question is how to return normal custom scrollbars back? This default are really very annoying.
Sounds like you need a clean install if the resets are not working.
To get a clean "Son of Obsidian" or other themes that don't affect scroll bars, go here.
Also see the Visual Studio Color Theme Editor extension for your version of studio that lets you manage your themes. This should get you back to default theme settings or assist in creating new default theme settings.
After that, you can tweak some hard to find Map Mode Scroll Bar colors in the Visual Studio 2012-13

I have been looking for , lets use the word "mods", for visual studio left and right to be able to change the background and font color of the code editor for quite a while now. This is a simple question and hopefully not a duplicate of Is it possible to change backround color of editor and autocomplete tooltips in Visual Studio?. If I can refine my question a bit more, is it possible to manually change the background color of the code and text editor, or does mods or plugins or addons exist somewhere to do this feature for me? My eyes are straining on the white background...
I am using visual studio 2010
From the main menu, go to Tools -> Options. From there open up Environment -> Fonts and Colors. If you don't want to spent the time configuring it that way (which would be completely understandable), download the theme editor, or pick and download a nice theme at http://studiostyl.es/
