Latests Visual Studio 2026 insider introduced modern color settings. But it has a reggression - no more "automatic" color setting. So i can not set automatic (inherited) foreground for "VA Find Reference" and "VA Find Reference (modified)" which i always used earlear.
Visual Assist's own settings only offer a background selection option, implying that only the background color changes (which is indeed how it works in the VA Symbol References window). Therefore, could you change this reference highlight colors setting so that only the background can be selected, while the foreground colors option remains unavailable?
May be it needs flag .ForegroundCustomizable = false in the EditorFormatDefinition for these colors (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/microsoft.visualstudio.text.classification.editorformatdefinition?view=visualstudiosdk-2022).







PS. I also reported this regression to MS, you can vote for it: https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/t/Fonts-and-Colors-unified-settings-regres/11149903
