I cannot seem to figure out which of the 6 jillion settings in Fonts and Colors affects popup tips, such as the definition of a function. I need to either darken the background and/or some of the text, being as it is currently unreadable.
I've tried fiddling with every setting that seems like it might possibly be it, but can't find it.
Can someone please tell me the name of the setting I need to change the color for?
I think you are looking for: Editor Tooltip option in Show settings for:.
Updated after OP's comment:
To update the Background color, you could choose Environment under Show setting for: and adjust ToolTip option from the Display items: option.

Using Oracle Form Builder 10.1.2.3.0, I have a List Item of type Combo Box with a Prompt and next to it in the same Block is a CheckBox.
When I disable these two items with
SET_ITEM_PROPERTY('block.item', ENABLED, PROPERTY_FALSE);
the CheckBox and its prompt go gray but the prompt portion of the List Item does not change. This makes the form and its developer look ridiculous.
Is this a bug?
To accomplish what I want I have to execute these when the List Item's enablement changes:
set_item_property('block.item', foreground_color, 'r150g150b150')
set_item_property('block.item', foreground_color, 'r70g70b70')
And these are just guesses because the color meter app is not perfect.
Half of the problem would "go away" if I could use a visual attribute but the form builder app complains about the "gray" color not being named.
Surely there is a better solution. Maybe playing with the LAF? But I have yet to figure out LAF customization.
I would not expect the prompt to change, but the edit area where text is entered will change. There is one exception. If running with colorScheme SWAN or BLAF the text edit are will always remain white unless you explicitly change the color. This is expected behavior.
If you are using SWAN or BLAF, which EBS does, by setting readOnlyBackground=true you can cause the edit area to go from white to a non-white color (the exact color will depend on the colorscheme in use). Because this parameter is not in the config by default it would need to be added manually and also added to the html template file.
I don't understand why this is happening. Can't find anything online or in the settings to turn it off. IF anyone knows how to turn this off I'd appreciate the advice.
Font colors and backgrounds are defined in Tools -> Options (see below). I'm not sure which Display item is for the # symbol, but you should be able to tell by the Item background being the yellow you are seeing. You can change to whatever you want.

I'm tweaking my environment settings and I've got all my colors happy except this one.
When you hover over the "+" or "-" the entire affected area gets highlighted in white-ish color. This is annoying when you have a dark background like I have using Ragnarok Blue (or ZenBurn)
What Display Item is this so I can adjust?
By going through each display item I discovered it's the "Collapsible Region"
I suppose that should have been obvious.
Here is my scenario. I like my color scheme. I have a dark blue background with light grey text. I have the Plain Text option in VS 2010 in Tools | Options | Environment | Fonts and Colors set to be a dark grey for the foreground and dark blue for the background:
alt text http://www.elbalazo.net/post/vs_plaintext_color.jpg
But I need to fix this major problem/annoyance which is when I highlight some text and then lost focus with my mouse it turns almost completely white!
alt text http://www.elbalazo.net/post/WhiteBackgroundVS2.jpg
And worse, when I mouse over the little section lines of code on the left, the selection of the entire editor goes white with a light grey foreground for text:
alt text http://www.elbalazo.net/post/WhiteBackgoundVS.jpg
Not able to figure out where and how to fix this. I don't see a way. Note: I'm using R# 5.0+ so I don't know if that has anything to do with this color issue or what...maybe it's overriding some VS stuff or this is just a VS issue I don't know..probably just not looking in the right area under Fonts and colors...but a lot of the item foreground elements are read only.
UPDATED:
I think it might be (not sure) this one but I can't test it as the foreground is locked and not editable:

I'm pretty sure your first problem can be solved by setting the colors on the 'Highlighted Reference' option in the Fonts and Colors window. If ReSharper is override this setting I couldn't tell you. I don't have it installed on this machine. As for your second problem I have no idea.
If you get too irritated at trying to figure out the color options you could also try Studio Styles for pre-made ones. I believe that is where I got the one I use currently.
I believe the setting you are looking for is "Inactive Selected Text". Found while trying to figure out why my selected search texts were not highlighted in an obvious manner.
Might be a year late... answering for future searches.
ReSharper is indeed overriding some of your settings, but those settings can be found in the same screen, towards the bottom of the listbox.
In Tools | Options | Environment | Fonts and Colors, scroll to the bottom of the 'Display Items:' listbox, and you should see a series of settings that start with ReSharper. For instance, the 'ReSharper Current Line Highlight` was causing me issues when I changed my theme to use a dark background.
Hope that helps.
The highlight for matching references is the "Highlighted Reference" background color (as Sean Copenhaver pointed out).
The highlight for the outlining region hover is "Collapsed Region" (as Brandon Satrom pointed out in his comment on the original question). The foreground color is the color used in the outlining margin and the background color is the color used under the text. You can also disable that highlight by disabling Tools->Options->Environment->General->Enable rich client visual experience, though that will disable other things (animations, gradients, etc.)
The brace matching rectangle is the highlight that appears when you insert or put the caret on a brace (e.g. ")", "]", "}"). It only lets you override the background color because you can't use it to change the foreground (text) color.
I had this same problem (much later) with VS 2010 and R# 7.1.
Disable the "Highlight current line" option in ReSharper > Options > Environment > Editor.
That option, when enabled, causes the VS 2010 color options for Highlighted Reference to not apply.
FWIW I had this problem without ReSharper and in my case tracked it down to the Brace Matching (Rectangle) color setting which looked nothing like what I was seeing in the editor but allowed me to fix the issue anyway.
So this is weird but I was having the same problem and it simply went away when I went to Tools->Options->Environment->Fonts and Colors and changed the font size to 18. I then went back in the same menu and changes it back to 10 (default) and the editor no longer highlights the collapsible regions white. Strange behavior.
Okay, I'll bite.
I've got really pleasant code/window colors set up in Xcode. Ordinarily, my selection color is very visible.
When I am doing a project search and iterating through the results, however, the results list stays in focus and the found text remains out of focus, using a different background color. This color is extremely hard to detect, especially when the text is embedded in a larger code block and the view is shifting around as it scrolls to the results.
Here's an example:
Left side is in focus (just normal selection), right side is out of focus (during project find)
Often it takes a few seconds to find where the heck the selected text is.
Unless I'm just missing it, Xcode seems to offer no way to change this particular selection color. Interestingly, it also doesn't seem to follow the selection color from the Appearance panel.
Does anyone know a way to change this color or force it to be more visible, short of changing my entire color scheme around?
Use this Xcode plugin:
http://github.com/tjw/XcodeSelectionColorFix
Instructions for using it are here: http://github.com/tjw/XcodeSelectionColorFix/blob/master/README.markdown
You can manually edit the theme file, which might allow a different selection color. If I recall (not on my dev machine), personal themes are in ~/Library/Application Support/Xcode/(should be intuitive from here/can't remember)
You can edit them in Property List Editor, if I remember right. The Xcode preferences don't expose all of the options available in the theme file.
