We're experiencing an annoying problem issues with ReSharper's color identifiers feature when Visual Studio 2012 is set to the built-in dark theme.
With ReSharper's color identifiers disabled, the code looks fine:
Then, we enable ReSharper's color identifiers:
And now the code is completly unreadable:
The curious thing, on a colleague's machine, the same code, with the same Visual Studio and ReSharper settings... looks right:
We tried reinitializing both Visual Studio and ReSharper settings, disabling add-ons and extensions and other voodoos to no avail.
Here are our setups:
By diffing our system information, I noticed three add-ins I had my colleague didn't (JetBrains TeamCity Addin 7.1, VisualSVN 3.0.5 and Git Extensions).
Trying to disable them one by one I found out the culprit is the add-in for TeamCity: as soon as I uninstalled it (it's not reported in Visual Studio, and you can't disable it) the color scheme fixed itself.
The funny thing is both ReSharper and the TeamCity add-ins are provided by JetBrains.
