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).
Highlighted "base" foreground font color should be green in editor, as in VA find ref window below:
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

The foreground colour, when set in the IDE options dialog, not being used in the Find References Results window is actually down as a bug:
case=508
Most people don't change the foreground colour for Find References, but to be fair, its not all that obvious that you can do so either.
Thank you for letting us know about this change in the preview version, it will be more widely available soon enough I am sure. |
