Hi, I'm having small issues with syntax coloring in tooltips (VS2012 build 1929). VAX seems to be using the default color scheme. See the images below:



As you can see both on the left and on the right, the VAX navigation bar works well with my custom color scheme, however the tooltips use the default VS dark scheme. I tried changing to another color scheme and back, but didn't help. Is this a known issue? Am I doing something wrong or is there a work-around? Thanks!

How have you set up your dark background? Have you changed your global windows background colour, or have you just changed the background colour of the editor window, leaving the surrounding windows with a white or pale background?

If you have only set the editor to a dark background then we recommend you only tell VA to apply its syntax highlighting to the editor window, to avoid exactly this situation, since it is hard to set highlight colours that work well on both a dark and light background at the same time.

You seem to be referring to tooltips only, but that's not what 'ingenious' is talking about. I'm seeing the same thing here (VS 2010 in my case, with a custom dark background), VA uses unreadable default colors for in windows like Find in Files, Find References, etc.

I am seeing the same problem here, we are looking into adding the colouring to the Find References Results tooltips, along with any other tooltips that VA has reasonable control over:

I am having the same issue, but not only in tooltips, in Find Result windows too. My config:
- VS2013 Pro Update 1 (English, C++)
- VAssist build 2029
- Some Productivity tools enabled

I am using VS Dark theme, and I changed some of the colors. I also changed all the default colors from VAssist syntax highlighting. VAssist Syntax highlighting is enabled in all the windows, tooltips, etc except the main editor window, where VS2013 is already doing a fine job.

The syntax colors used in the VA Bar are the custom ones, which is OK, but in the tooltips and in the Find Result window, the default VAssist colors are used. Is this the same (unresolved) problem as above?

Thanks for the reply! Hope you find a way to fix it at some point.

"If coloring of tooltips is enabled, the default colors rather than your colors are used (confirmed bug in Visual Studio)."

However, we might be able to solve this in some way, in the future, for VS2012 (not sure about VS2010)
