The default appearance of a method for example, ".ToString()" is by default the color black. I want to make it a different color to stand out but I do not see any options that reference this option specifically.
I remember one of former collegues showing me his VS IDE years ago and he had it setup this way but I cannot recall what he did.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to do this?
Tools > Options > Environment > Fonts and Colors has an extensive list of things you can change both font face, font size, color, style, etc.
Also, Jeff Atwood had a great post a few years ago about IDE font and colour schemes that you might find interesting.
No can do. Syntax highlighters use lexical analysis. Identifiers, comments, literals, keywords. Recognizing that an identifier is a method, property, field requires parsing. Parsing only works well when you've got a well-formed program. Not only is it slow, your program is very rarely well-formed while you are typing code.
