I recently changed the theme of Windows 7 to High Contrast Black and I have some problems with tooltips in Visual Studio, if I click on classes or variables I have a tooltip with foreground black and background black, so I can't read.
For information I use Productivity Power Tools and Resharper and Dev Express.
I know that in Environment>Fonts and Colors I can edit properties but I don't know which to choose.

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).

On the Environment > General options page, change the Color theme
selection to Dark, and then choose OK.

You set the background color of the selected tab with my (commercial) Tabs Studio extension:

Doesn't appear to be listed in either the Fonts and Colors, nor the Windows Forms Designer sections of Tools > Options
