How to bring classic styles back in VS2022? - visual-studio

I really like the new studio. Just don't pluck out your eyes fonts and styles.
I am trying to bring everything back

I changed the font here: Options -> Environment -> Fonts and Colors -> Text Editor to Consolas

How can I do it?

Control syntax highlighting in tools -> options -> fonts and colors (text editor) You can change most foreground and background colors.

How do I turn off Visual Studio background highlighting for the at-symbol (#) in a Razor file?

I've already followed the advice here, but that still leaves all the # symbols and the #code{} blocks highlighted, which I find annoying and ugly.
I assume there's a setting in Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Fonts and Colors, but I can't find it.

Changing R studio appearance to default

Recently, I changed the appearance of my R studio to Xcode. I liked its text color on the scripts part but didn't like the color on the console. It doesn't have a different color option for error and warning messages. So, I want to go back to the default one, whatever the R Studio comes with. How can I do it?
The default RStudio theme is 'Modern' the default editor theme is TextMate.
To change the Editor theme to default you must go to Tools -> Global Options -> Appearance. Then, in the Editor theme section you have to select TextMate(defauilt) which is the default editor theme you have when you install RStudio.
If you are trying to change the appearance you can do this by going to Tools -> Global Options -> Appearance. There are several options for the Rstudio theme and the editor.
The RStudio Support describes this in greater depth.

How to change parameter type color inside tooltips?

The default blue color is unreadable on the gray background:
I couldn't find any option inside Tools > Options > Environment > 'Fonts and Colors' that controlled that particular color. How do I modify that color?
EDIT:
Looks like either VS or Resharper finally fixed the default color. It looks like this now, without me having to change anything:
So, string in C# it's a keyword that means you can simply modify this blue color for all keywords by setting
Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Fonts and Colors -> Settings for Text Editor -> Keyword -> Item foreground
parameter in Visual Studio settings.
There is the resharper extension EnhancedTooltip. As far as I know it uses the same colors a the editor window. You can install it from ReSharper -> Extension Manager ... .

How to change the color of XML elements in Visual Studio

I have imported a theme, and I have noticed that the color of the value for a key in app.config has not been changed:
Is there any way of editing this?
Go to
Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Fonts and Colors
and find there
Show Settings For -> Text Editor
Display Items -> XML Attribute Value
Item Foreground -> {choose color you prefer}
You should change the XMLAttributeValue setting.
Tools->Options->Environment->Fonts And Colors -> (Text Editor set) XMLAttributeValue
If anyone else is running into this issue, it is not because of the Visual Studio settings. It is because of the VSCommands extension. I disabled the extension and Visual Studio took control back of the color settings. Very poor behavior for an extension to override color control, if you ask me. Changing colors when requested is expected, overriding the control is not!

Check out shanselmans blog article about this, he lists quite a few of them, so pick one you like. Personally, I've got the Monaco font installed, and I love it!
In Visual Studio 2017 you can do the following:
Tools -> Options.. -> Environment -> General -> Color theme -> Dark -> OK
you can do this by taking visual studio tools - > options - > font and colors and set what ever you want in font and text.
If you want some background image means : try this tool
I personally find it easier to read, and the colors can have more subtle hues and convey more meaning for me.
I used this scheme to start with: https://web.archive.org/web/20080116232122/http://www.agileprogrammer.com/dotnetguy/archive/2006/09/07/19030.aspx
Go to VS -> Tools -> Options.
It has list of settings you can change.
For changing color; look left side pane and select Fonts and color.
You also can change default Item foreground and item background color as your wish from right side pane.
In VS 2015, go to tools>>options>>environment>>general>>dark
That's the theme I see most people use, and it feels much better on the eyes.
Select : Tools > Options > General > Color Theme > Dark
You can also change the font by selecting :
Select : Tools > Options > General > Fonts and Colors > ...
For me:
Tools > Options > Environment > Color theme(from dropdown select): > Blue
