Visual Studio Properties Window glitch - visual-studio

When I'm using Visual Studio and I go on the properties window, its really hard to browse for something.
It has this black weird layout which only displays when I'm using dark mode and also gets worse by opening some tabs.
I'm using VS 2015, but this happened to me on VS 2012 that being the reason why I upgraded to VS 2015.
I've tried changing to custom themes to see if it would help but it didn't.

Visual Studio 2019 Community Edition (Mac) Popups Block Mouse

I'm using Visual Studio Community 2019 for Mac, Version 8.10.19 (build 2). Sometimes, and only sometimes, I'll try to click on something in the C# editor, and a popup will appear under my mouse, which prevents the click from registering. Is there any way to turn off these popups? I've included a gif that demonstrates the behavior.

Can't get a text window to appear, anyone know what to do?

I already tried changing the font, text colour and theme but still nothing. I'm using Visual Studio 2019 and opened Visual Studio through Unity, here's the image:
Sometimes it happens to me too, double click on the script and it pops up the blank Visual Studio screen like that. To resolve the error I just go back to Unity (keeping Visual Studio open) and double click on the script, at which point the script appears on Visual Studio.

Visual Studio 2017 - How to get rid of split view bar?

How to get rid of bar marked on below screenshot? Previously I had there some kind of code tracking, like code minimap, using which I could quickly move to specific part of my code, but I decided to remove it. It worked, but bar remained and it is misleading for me, as it cuts my code (it can also be seen on screenshot) and just waste space.
I remember that I saw this feature for first time in Visual Studio Code, but disabling it was easy as it required only to add one line to settings JSON file. Unfortunately, I can't see such a file for Visual Studio 2017. On the other side - last time Visual Studio 2017 and Visual Studio Code acted like two separate beings and that's fine for me. This time they act like Visual Studio 2017 inherits settings from Visual Studio Code. I had this code minimap though I never enabled it. I had ESLint enabled in Visual Studio 2017 though I never enabled it. However both of those were enabled in Visual Studio Code. Is there a way to separate Visual Studio 2017 and Visual Studio Code again? I would like my settings from Visual Studio Code to not be adopted by Visual Studio 2017.
Fixed. I had to enter Options -> Text Editor -> All Languages -> Scroll Bars and changed Behavior from "Use map mode for vertical scroll bar" to "Use bar mode for vertical scroll bar".
My question about inheriting settings from Visual Studio Code by Visual Studio 2017 is still up-to-date.

How to change the style of documentation which appears on hover in Visual Studio 2015?

I recently migrated from Visual Studio 2013 to 2015. It was a visually satisfactory transition. But suddenly one of my favorite feature disappeared.
Before:
And after:
It is not colorful anymore. I played around with text editor options, fonts and styles, but couldn't figure it out. Does anyone know how to bring it back?

Display icons instead of words in Visual Studio tool window tabs

It's trivial, I know, but yesterday, out of nowhere, Visual Studio 2012 Professional started displaying "Solution Explorer", "Team Explorer - Home", etc. in the tabs instead of nice little icons. Does anyone know how to bring back the icons?
There is an extension that does just that. It was written for VS 2015 but works fine in VS 2017.
Visual Studio Iconizer for Visual Studio 2015
Icons are displayed when the widths of the tabs are too narrow. To get the icons back, either make the pane narrower or dock some more tabs in that pane.
