I use a black background, and would like to enable VAX syntax coloring in tooltips. I can do this (sort of) by setting the WinXP system-wide tooltip to be white text on a dark gray background.

This would work great, except that VAX's tooltips use some color scheme I don't understand. For example, if I hover over the variable sHold, the tip looks like this:

sHold = {0x0380ca60 "708304000"}

Two issues here.

First, why is the string in blue? I have strings set to green via the IDE, so it's not coming from there; actually, I would prefer it to use that color.

Second, why is the closing brace blue? It should be the same color as the opening brace, right?

I'll have a deeper look into it tomorrow from work (there I have VC 6 and can play around with a black background).

This is while debugging, right?
