Suddenly the scrollbar of the code window in visual studio has a larger width than it should be.
Compare the width in the image on top and the one on the bottom (that is normal)
I can't find an option to change the width, so please help me, where can i change that?
It looks like Match Margin from Productivity Power Tools. You can turn it off in Options - Productivity Power Tools.

After I had to do a hard reboot on my mac this gap appeared in VSCode. It's like the coding region is narrower. The coding region is now centered and there are blank gaps on either side. Any idea how to get rid of it?
Give this a try: view - toggle center layout. Image here
Ok. I am finding it difficult to visually discern where the current focus of my editor is. The image below shows that I am currently in the bottom PathIcon tag while the top PathIcon tag is highlighted because it is a matching type. The similarity in color has finally driven me crazy.
Does anyone know the correct text-type in the Fonts and Colors dialog of Visual Studio 2015 to change this color? And, look, for all the StackOverflow haters trolling the board, please resist closing this q until there is an answer. Then you can have your fun.
It looks like there are actually two different colors in play here. The grey box on the "<PathIcon" that contains the cursor is "Brace Matching (Rectangle)". The purplish box on the other "PathIcon" looks like it is the background portion of the "Match color", which is installed by the pro power tools.
The latter color won't reset if you change the color in fonts and colors but will be correct for editor instances you open after changing the color.
I think you're looking for Highlight Current Line (Active), which controls the colors of the line your cursor is on.
Since I can not have more than one Font specified for a Label in a Visual Studio 2010 project, so I attempted to use two Labels to give the effect of text with a subscript.
Even with Margin and Padding set to "0,0,0,0" I still get the background of one label covering the text of the other. The picture as the bottom shows the best I can get it.
Is there a way to really make the label extend 0 pixels beyond the text in the label?
Here are some pictures of the TextAlign properties for the labels. It seems they're set correctly:
With the padding you set it should work however, you probally need to also Right Align the Label on the left-hand side and Left Align the Label on the right-hand side.
I'm using VS2010 and I'd like to change the font style of regions and/or summaries when they are condensed, primarily to remove the border around these sections as it's becoming distracting when scrolling through the code.
I've looked through the "Fonts and Colors" and other options and couldn't find anything obvious that would let me change it. Is this font customizable and where can it be done if it is?
You can change the font color under Fonts and Colors > Text Editor > Collapsed Text. Not sure if you can remove the border.
I have applied a color theme called Vibrant Ink (or some modification of it), and since I installed Visual Studio 2010 Pro Power Tools all my statement completion boxes are unreadable.

What setting changes the colors of these boxes? Preferrably, I'd like to change the background color to something darker, but if that's not possible at least I want to change the text color.
Update: I changed the SignatureHelpTooltipBackground setting under Tools->Options...->Environment->Fonts and colors, but this doesn't seem to affect the tooltips when editing JavaScript.
Is there another setting for JS colors, or is this a bug in VS?
The "default" ToolTip style has hard-coded colors that will only be different if you are running in high-contrast mode. Otherwise, it will be the light gray gradient you see in the picture above.
The tooltips in the ProPack for VB/C# files use a custom (configurable) style as you noted above.
Please submit feedback that the default tooltip background color should be configurable. The more customer requests are heard for this issue, the higher the likelihood it will be fixed in a future release:

I'm not sure it is legal or not, we can always disassemble the code and modify (patch) what we want. In this case, find that gray color in assembly and change it. It shouldn't be hard for someone who knows .NET and hexes well.
