TODO comment font color in VS2010 with ReSharper and Productivity Power Tools


I just installed the Productivity Power Tools for Visual Studio 2010. I also have ReSharper installed. Prior to the PowerTools installation, my TODO comments (i.e. // TODO: Do Something) were showing up in the code using the font listed under VS options as "Resharper Todo Item". Now it's a dark blue color, and apparently ignoring the setting in the VS options.

I'm using a dark theme, so I can barely read these comments. I've dug through all the options I can find (all of the options in VS options including the new power tools options, and in the ReSharper options), and can't find it.

Any thoughts?


Solution

  • To change the colour of the TODO items in the text editor, change the environment settings using Visual Studio (Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Fonts and Colors)

    Then scroll to the item in the "Display items" list which in this case is "Resharper TODO item"

    UPDATE: this applies to Resharper 7.1 and 8.2 upwards as pointed out in this comment

    For Resharper 8 < 8.2 please see the solution below by @Soeholm
