I'm using Windows 10, when I change the theme to Hight Contrast (Dark) in the OS display settings my Visual Studio 2015 shows all code monocromatically as follows:
Visual Studio doesn't allows me to change the "Color theme" in the menu Options > Environment > General.
I've tried to delete all my Visual Studio's user settings but the problem persists. How do I fix the problem?

I am working with Visual Studio 2022 Community Edition and it's been working great, I did get a message there is an update and updated it.
Now all my JavaScript code is white. The other languages such as C# / html etc. works great.
I want my variables to me blue etc.
I have tried following
Reset the settings Tools > Import and Export Settings > Reset all settings.
Closing the IDE and then reopening Visual Studio.
Restart.
Tools > Options > Environment > Fonts and Colors is not the solution.

Thanks,
I've freshly installed Visual Studio 2019 Community to do some mobile development (Xamarin.Forms)
The problem is that the collection editor is shown as a black window as demonstrating in the image below :

I've restarted VS so many times, and changed the Theme hoping it's a problem with the theme, but no luck.
During the day I find the bright standard theme of Visual Studio pleasant, while in the evening I often switch to the dark theme when the ambient light decreases.
In Visual Studio Code there are plugins to switch between themes time-controlled.
Is there anything equivalent in Visual Studio 2019?
There is an extension for Visual Studio 2019 called Auto Theme Switcher for Win10 Dark Mode (can be found in the extensions menu or #microsoft here).
Then you can configure your light and dark theme in the options.
Note: I'm not the author of this extension, just a user that was in the same situation and found that extension.
Set the color theme for the Visual Studio IDE
The default color theme for Visual Studio's user interface is called Blue. Let's change it to Dark.
On the menu bar, which is the row of menus such as File and Edit,
choose Tools > Options.
On the Environment > General options page, change the Color theme
selection to Dark, and then choose OK.
The color theme for the entire Visual Studio development environment (IDE) changes to Dark.
There is a similar question for Visual Studio 2010.
However, the answer does not work anymore with Visual Studio 2013.
How to change the current line color in Visual Studio 2013 ?
I would like to make it more visible.
Open Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Fonts And Colors.
Select 'Text Editor' in 'Show settings for:'
In 'Display items', select 'Highlight Current Line (Active)'.
Change the color.
I installed a version of Visual Studio 2010, but it has no Theme menu. I installed it on some other machines but none of them has the Theme menu.
I can only use the default theme. How can I add the Themes menu to my copy of Visual Studio?
The "Theme" menu is not part of Visual Studio 2010, so it won't be there with a standard installation.
It is provided by an extension called the "Visual Studio Color Theme Editor", which you must install on your computer first before you can change themes.
You can download it here from Microsoft's Visual Studio Gallery website.
