I am using a dark theme in Visual Studio 2010 and whenever I move the mouse to the left end of the editor it makes the whole block white, which is really annoying.

How to turn this feature off?
I believe this is a VS "Feature" rather than a CodeRush one.
See if this helps...
Locate: Tools->Options->Environment->Fonts and Colors
Then choose Collapsible Region -> Background color and alter this value to the same as your editor background.
This should stop the color change.

How can I change the color of Visual Studio's scroll bar when it's in map mode? This is picture of what it looks like for me right now.
Basically, I just need to make the colors transparent so they blend in with the background. This used to be part of Productivity Power Tools, and I remember you could change the colors in those settings. But in Visual Studio 2015 it's been built into the IDE and there's no obvious settings for the colors.
I am also using the Color Theme Editor extension, but if the color setting is editable from there, I can't find it.
I know it's possible to change these colors because I've changed it before (my colors got reset recently). Does anyone know where these settings are?
The colors are changeable using the Color Theme Editor extension by changing the "Text Editor -> Overview" colors. Specifically "Text Editor -> Overview background -> Background" and "Text Editor -> Overview visible -> Background".
I've tried to make my Visual Studio more beautyful, so I downloaded Son of Obsidian color scheme from here. And then everething is okay, except scrollbars. Scrollbars are now not Visual Studio 2012 cool custom scrollbars, but Windows default scrollbars. I've tried to resel all preferences using "Import and Export options..." menu, but this won't work. Colors returned to default state, but scrollbars are the same Windows scrollbars. By the way, I'm using Dark theme. So question is how to return normal custom scrollbars back? This default are really very annoying.
Sounds like you need a clean install if the resets are not working.
To get a clean "Son of Obsidian" or other themes that don't affect scroll bars, go here.
Also see the Visual Studio Color Theme Editor extension for your version of studio that lets you manage your themes. This should get you back to default theme settings or assist in creating new default theme settings.
After that, you can tweak some hard to find Map Mode Scroll Bar colors in the Visual Studio 2012-13

Is there any way to change the color of the execution point arrow icon in the Visual Studio 2010 debugger?
I'm talking about the pale yellow arrow that goes in the left margin at the line where the execution pointer currently is. My problem is that its contrast against the very light gray background of the margin is very poor and I sometimes have a hard time spotting the arrow.
I didn't see any way in the visual studio settings to allow this change, and while I found this Change Visual studio 2010 color palette which links to a vs theme editor allows changing themes for a lot of the VS UI elements - it doesn't seem to affect the debugger margin icons or the margin color itself.
Yep, Tools > Options > Environment > Fonts and Colors > under "Display Items:", choose "Current Statement".
Just did it myself :-)
I am using Visual Studio 2012 RC with a dark background in the editor. I am NOT using the dark color theme. I am using the light theme. When I set a breakpoint, the text changes to black and I can't see it. I unchecked “Highlight entire source line for breakpoints and current statement.” setting under 'Debugging'. In "Fonts and Colors" all the entries for 'breakpoint' and 'current statement' do not have a dark color for both foreground and background colors.
Where is the setting for this or is this a bug in VS?
You can change the font color to white in Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Fonts and Colors -> Breakpoint (enabled). That won't restore syntax highlighting, though.
Still can't turn it off properly in VS2019 but there is hope in the form of an github issue. Go thumb it up & subscribe: https://github.com/dotnet/roslyn/issues/39114
You can change the color as mentioned above, but this will lose the syntax highlighting.
check Options - Text Editor - General - Indicator Margin.
It should be checked, so Visual Studio can place the marker.
I have been looking for , lets use the word "mods", for visual studio left and right to be able to change the background and font color of the code editor for quite a while now. This is a simple question and hopefully not a duplicate of Is it possible to change backround color of editor and autocomplete tooltips in Visual Studio?. If I can refine my question a bit more, is it possible to manually change the background color of the code and text editor, or does mods or plugins or addons exist somewhere to do this feature for me? My eyes are straining on the white background...
I am using visual studio 2010
From the main menu, go to Tools -> Options. From there open up Environment -> Fonts and Colors. If you don't want to spent the time configuring it that way (which would be completely understandable), download the theme editor, or pick and download a nice theme at http://studiostyl.es/
