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 a VS 2022 Theme that doesn't address the Tabs toolbar colors. I have a VSTheme Project for it, so can fix it, but I don't know where the colors are in the "All Elements" tab.
Does anyone know how to colorize these elements in the VSTheme Project Editor?
Seems the majority of the color settings are called "FileTab" (example, to change the background color, look for FileTabActiveGroupBackground).
Here is a broken down screenshot of some of the color controls:
I am using the Color Theme Editor extension for Visual Studio 2017, and I'm having trouble changing the color of a particular section in the editor tooltips.
In the example below, I cannot figure out how to customize the bit with the white background - the method signature from the tooltip showing method overloads.
I have figured out how to customize pretty much everything else with the tooltips, except for that highlighted section. For example, Environment -> Tooltip will set the background of the entire tooltip (strangely enough the Environment -> Tooltip -> Background setting doesn't seem to do anything...).
Does anyone happen to know how to control the colors for the text highlighted in white in the example?
It looks like that particular color is messed up when you change theme.
Restart Visual Studio and then the color should be OK.
I get the same issue when I change the Tooltip text background with Color Theme Editor extension. And I have submit this issue to Q&A of Color Theme Editor extension for Visual Studio 2017.

Still a problem in Visual Studio Community 2019 v16.3.6; still the same solution (restarting) works.
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 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.
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 :-)
