Customize syntax highlighting in visual studio for C#
I've been unable to find within visual studio 2013, how to change the syntax highlighting color scheme for C# files.
Namely, I'd want to change the color of variable names, and method names in method declaration lines.
Any ideas on where I can tweak these colors? I can select light/dark/blue color schemes but not specific syntax colors. In Options / Fonts and Colors there is nothing for C# (only a few options for C++).
Edit:
Ok, so I found where you can set the colors, it was in Options / Fonts and Colors after all. There is general settings (keyword, user types, etc), and C++ specific settings, but no C# specific settings. So you just need to set the general settings.
I still wasn't able to find how to color the method name in method declarations in a different color. When I want to change a method, having the method name declarations in different colors really help me (when using MonoDevelop), and I would really like to set it in visual studio.
public void MyMethod(int someVariable) {
MyMethod(someVariable+1);
}
I'd like to have different color for "MyMethod" word in the declaration line than the second line (where I recursively call it).
