Hello.
I have followed advice from here: https://docs.wholetomato.com/default.asp?W805
to disable Visual Assist database and solution interval and keep only Visual Assist intellisense.
However when I do this, all my Visual Studio colors (I don't use Visual Assist "Coloring and Attributes") are reset to default - the default blue theme. Is this a bug?
I can't stand the default colors. So I kept 'Disable Database' to False and I use visual assist intellisense.

Just letting you know.

Which IDE and version of VA are you using?

Using VS2019, I have just set:

VA Options -> Coloring and Attributes -> Enable Enhanced Syntax Coloring = OFF

IDE tools menu -> Options -> Text Editor -> C/C++ -> Advanced -> Disable Database = True

by the looks of it the only syntax colouring that is now active is comments, keywords and strings.

Changing the colours for these in the IDE options works as expected. If you are seeing the problem with other items, what items are you seeing the wrong colours for?

I am using MSVS 2017 (15.9.28307.1000) Community and VA v10.9.2389.
I can't update VA at the moment since my 1year license has expired and I'm left with an older version.

Using VS2017, VA 2389 with C++ code, and having turned Off IDE intellisense database, and also turned Off VA syntax highlighting, I am not having any problems adjusting the colours for the elements the IDE does still colour. This is my current, very random and colourful, display:



what colouring are you trying to apply? What, precisely, isn't working?
