Changing colour of types for VB.net in VS

Question

I am currently working on a VB.NET project and the hardest thing that I am having trouble with is that everything is black and blue.

Having worked a lot with C#, I really like the way that types are colored differently.

I have tried going in and having a look at the "Tools > Options > Fonts and Colors" and the various "User Types" under "Display Items" is set to a different colour but its not reflecting that colour in the text editor.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Answer 1

You can change the 'Keyword' colour, but this will also change, well all keywords (such as Class and Function), not just types.

Answer 2

Down in the list is User Types as well as user types for delegates, enums, interfaces, and Value Types.

Answer 3

I wonder how VS2010 handles it? With the VB and C# teams working closer together now maybe this has already been addressed.
