Can you set what color VS2008 uses to highlight a finally block?

Question

I switched over to a dark visual studio theme a couple months ago. I think it helps a lot with strain and I've noticed I get less headaches. However, when I'm debugging and I hit a finally block it highlights the try and finally block with a white background which drowns out all my code. Anyone know how to change what color VS uses to highlight a finally block?

Answer 1

Yeah - you should be able to control all of the fine-grain color stuff.

I'm not sure which specific item you want, but the link should get you to the right properties page.

• Select Options from the Tools menu, and in the Environment folder, select Fonts and Colors.

• The Fonts and Colors, Environment, Options Dialog Box opens.

• In Show settings for, select Text Editor.

I found it, it's the "Read-Only Region" display item.
