Colorblind and colors. Which elements of the VS2019 text editor relate to the C # language?

Question

I am color-blind. I'm trying to change the colors of the Visual Studio community text editor by changing the options.

Could you tell me what are the items I can change in the (very long) list?

Please, only those that are taken into account when I code in C#.

Answer 1

Solution 1:

If you're on Windows 10, leverage the color filters in the operating system:

Solution 2:

Check https://github.com/Microsoft/VS-ColorThemes for well done themes.

However, as you'll notice, those files are ~8000 LOC each, not easy to find your way out in them.

But maybe you'll find a theme that may be a good fit for you without any edit, so try them first.

Answer 2

Unfortunately, the preview in the settings window isn't much of a help. So you have to know what you're looking for.

These should get you started to change the things you marked:

Item	Setting name
static, class, string, return etc.	Keyword
variable names (x in var x = ...)	Identifier
type names (Console)	Type, Navigable Symbol, Symbol definition, Symbol reference
