| Giving that attributes are starting to become more and more common, any chance we can get a customizable syntax color setting for them? |

| I assume you are thinking of C++ attributes. Are you just thinking of colouring all attributes in a single colour, treating them like strings, or another simple type, or are you thinking in terms of something more complex? |

Testing in C++, VS2017, if you change the colour setting:
IDE tools menu -> Options -> Environment -> Fonts and Colors -> Display items = Identifier
this will change the colour of the attribute text in the editor.

The problem with the current IDE settings is that they don't change the bracket coloring as well (the "[[" and "]]" characters), or at least I haven't found a way to do it without impacting other syntaxes.
What I'm looking for is to have attributes customizable completely and independently from anything else, e.g. have "[[maybe_unused]]" and "[[deprecated]]" coloured dark blue, with nothing else having the same color. It's ok to have all the attributes share the same colour.
The idea is to give them a non-intrusive color to remove the visual noise in documents where they are used a lot. |

This makes sense, I have put in a feature request to see what our developers make of this:
