The comments in the Code::Blocks IDE are difficult to see because their color is too light. How can I change the color?
Menu: Settings/Editor...
Syntax highlighting
Comments
There are several different "Comments" entries, play around to find the one you need.

I have spent a long time trying to find out how to change the indent guidelines for visual studio, as the bright gray is really too distracting. I managed to change +/- collapse line, but not the indentation colors.
These are what I am talking about:
They are part of the Productivity Power Tools 2017. This is what they have on their docs:
If you prefer not to see the lines, you can easily turn them off in Tools-Options-Text Editor-General-“Show structure guide lines”. You can also alter their color via the Text Editor “Block Structure Adornments” display item in Fonts and Colors.
But it seems to be outdated. The color setting is now called Structure Guidelines
Zerobrane has a color scheme but also shows underlining (some solid, some dotted) when viewing a .lua file.
e.g.,
buttonMain.y = display.contentCenterY - ...
where buttonMain is dotted underline & "display" is solid underline (only the word display, not the .content... part.
It is probably trying to tell me something useful, but I cannot understand it.
Is there a source to describe the different formats, etc. and their meaning within the Zerobrane Corona debugger?
I looked in ZBS but did not see an explanation of this.
Thanks for any help.
These are indicators that show the scope of a variable: global, local, masking, or masked. See the FAQ and the documentation for details. There is also a blog post that describes them with a screenshot.
I'd like to add some coloring to my comments so it's easier to find, or be able to group my comments by color so I know what comments are related to what process? From what I looked for, I couldn't find any specific packages.
you do this by going in to preference tab -> color scheme you can simply use predefined color scheme or you can also create your own
Smart tags are almost impossible to see when using the dark theme on visual studio 2012. how do i change the color of smart tags.
Going to tools>options>environment>fonts and colors>smart tags does not work
just to be clear, in the image above, i am talking about the small blue box under the 't', not the red squiggly line
It's in Tools/Options/Environment/Fonts and Colors:
Show settings for: Text Editor
Display Items: Compiler Error
You can change the Item Foreground property to get the color of the squiggly to change.
Microsoft confirmed it as a problem and has added this defect to their backlog:

I don't have visual studio in front of me, but I believe that is under the text editor options.
As far as I can remember that color is hard-coded to a constant, so you can't change it. Use Ctrl + . to invoke smart tags when there is one on the screen, it is much easier than hunting it down via the mouse.
I know the colours are changed in Environment > Fonts and Colors but I haven't found out which Display Item the object is.
Can someone please tell how I can colour the following code:
lblMessage.Text = "You have successfully answered my question!"
I have the string coloured pink, I would like the lblMessage purple and the .Text a light green.
For me the darker the colour the less it will "change". I won't often change object names, I'll more often change properties and am always changing strings - although I have another question about this that I'll post later.
Thanks
Go to Environment > Fonts and Colors > Display Items and change
Identifier
String
I was hoping that their is I can be
more specific with the colours - if
their isn't then that's an acceptable
answer - just disappointing for me.
Yeah, I don't think you can do that. :)
This is possible if you use a 3rd party addin like Visual Assist. It lets you assign different colors to classes, variables, macros and functions (among other features).
