I'm wondering if there is a reference manual of some kind which would indicate what items in the "Customize Colors" menu correspond with items on the Visual Studio IDE.
For instance, here's the Class View with one of the items highlighted (light green on white):
And here's a view of the spillover tabs section (Black text on dark gray):
My issue is that the list of items to change in the "Customize Colors" dialog (as shown in image one) is extremely long and I'm having a hard time corresponding the names to actual items in the Visual Studio IDE.

Visual Studio 2022 displays symbolic colored icons in the gutter next to line numbers, e.g.
I find the icons distracting and not particularly useful. They seem to be related to code structure — e.g. object inheritance and method overrides — which I can already understand from looking at the code.
Is there a way to "declutter my gutter" by hiding these particular icons?
I'm not talking about the code folding icons, or breakpoint icons. These are more or less useful, and less visually distracting.
Visual Studio version used: Preview Version 17.3.0 Preview 2.0
These icons are the "Inheritance Margin" icons. You can disable them by going to Options → Text Editor → C# → Advanced and uncheck the "Show inheritance margin" option:
I am trying to change colors of my VS. I am using Color Theme Editor.
And I am struggling to find few option which controls View windows background.
How do you change that background which is circled in images?
First is Solution Explorer window, and second Team Explorer.
If any one stumbles upon this, when you click Customize colors under Tools you need to switch to Show all elements view. There you need to find TreeView category. And there are all options to manipulate Solution Explorer and some part of Team Explorer.
I don't know what the office name of this feature is, but in Visual Studio 2015 you get a neat preview dialog when hovering your mouse over a collapsed method or function. The preview dialog will show the first 20 or so lines of that method/function. What I want to do is customize the background color that preview dialog/popup. I cannot for the life of me find the appropriate Fonts and Colors setting which controls this and I don't know what to look for in the Visual Studio Color Theme Editor either.
Here is a picture of what I am referring to:
I have a customized dark theme but want to change the sickly, pale brownish-yellow color of the highlighted preview dialog to make the code more readable.
Any suggestions as to what color/theme settings I'd change? I don't want to just apply a different theme. I want to customize my current one.
When selecting a control in visual editor, using absolute positioning on a webpage, I get these "guides" for aligning (top, bottom, left, right), accidentally clicking them results in the css property being set.
I find this very annoying and sometimes results in unwanted behavior of a control. So my question is, are there any way to remove/hide these guides?
I've attempted to navigate the Options menu in Visual Studio to no avail. How can I change Visual Studio 2010 to display tabbed documents vertically instead of the default horizontally?
Right-click on the tab of the file that you are viewing and select New Vertical Tab Group.
And once you have a vertical tab group opened, you can just click and drag files to that vertical pane.
Edit
It looks like this functionality is available through Pro Power Tools for Visual Studio.
