Resharper 2017 seems to cause my local variable names to be bold for absolutely no reason and I don't know how to turn off this very annoying and unwanted behavior.
can someone please assist. I attached a screen shot.
Thanks,
You should be able to change font options in Visual Studio's Tools → Fonts & Colours. You're looking for ReSharper's mutable variable item.

All of my strings in visual studio are highlighted (see screenshot)
This makes it very difficult when i'm actually highlighting something or using the find functionality.
I cannot find an option for this anywhere, anyone know how to disable this?
This is Visual Studio Community 2017
Go to Tools > Options > Fonts and Colors. On the Display Items, find String and change the Item background color to whatever the color of your editor background is.
I've been using the Visual Studio's Dark Theme for a while now. But as of today it got messed up. I'm not sure what triggered it but I'm speculating that opening an MVC3 project corrupted something. Please see the current behavior below.
How do I get this fixed?
Edit:
The issue is that the "Item foreground" and "Item background" settings gets set to something OTHER than "Default".
The fix is to go to Tools > Options > Environment - Fonts and Colors and setting the said properties to "Default".
Well, I fiddled with the Tools > Options > Environment - Fonts and Colors options for a while and managed to restore order. I'm not sure what messed it up initially!
I have had a lot of issues with the dark theme in VS2012. In order to make it work again I go to Tools -> Options -> Visual Experience and switch it to a different theme and then apply the dark theme again.
In our code there are lots of passages that are ifdef'ed out. With the former version of Visual Studio, they had been greyed out. With Visual Studio 2012, however, they are no longer greyed out but dimmed, i.e. these passages appear with all the colours of the syntax highlighting scheme, but with less saturated colours. The programmer at Microsoft who implemented this must have thought this very cool, but in practise it makes it really hard to tell if a passage is active or inactive.
Has anyone found a way to tricking Visual Studio 2012 to using the old way of greying out inactive passages?
Thanks for any reply
You have an Opacity setting you can change:
In Tools -> Options -> Text Editor -> C/C++ -> Formatting
you can change the Inactive Code Opacity Percent. Default is 65, change it to something higher.
Or
Just set the Disable Inactive Code Opacity to True if you want to cancel this altogether.
I noticed a strange behaviour in my VS2012 installation. I use VS2012 Pro and ReSharper 7. Intellisense is just not showing code suggestions anymore. I found a few related questions in my research but they always had a slightly different setup going and none could solve my problem:
Intellisense is working but, it's not showing the tooltip about selected member functions/Properties anymore.
If I take a look at the C# Text Editor Settings in
Tools -> Options -> Text Editor -> C# -> General
Most of the times the two necessary boxes Auto List Members and Parameter Information are selected. However, code suggestions in Intellisense don't work. Sometimes, when I look at the described settings, they are unselected.
Selecting them will make code suggestions work as in VS2010 but, only once. When I check the settings afterwards, they are most likely still selected, but code suggestions are not working anymore.
Some people suggested deleting the %AppData%\Roaming\Microsoft\VisualStudio\11.0 Folder, which did not work for me. I also tried to reset all changes, which also didn't help at all.
Tools -> Import and Export Settings -> Reset
What in the world could make Visual Studio to just forget its settings and trigger such an irrational behavior?
-edit-
I display the code suggestions by pressing CTRL+Alt+Space. However, I have to press that shortcut every time I want to see the suggestions. It has to be possible to automatically display them every time, when possible?
I was having a similar problem, but I kept overlooking one small ReSharper Intellisense setting. I would double check that you have Symbol completion on in
ReSharper | Options | Intellisense | Completion Characters
Check out the answer with screenshots.
Thanks for all the tips, I figured out what I had missing:
I had to enable "Completion Appearance" -> "Show Summary".
I also accepted Anthonys answer because he linked to a detailed post with screenshots that shows all steps necessary. (Although the thing I had missing is not mentioned there)
ReSharper uses it's own code suggestions that override Visual Studio ones, that could be the reason why the ones in the Visual Studio settings may be disabled. Please check ReSharper options at ReSharper -> Options -> Environment -> IntelliSense. Maybe they are turned off there. If your ReSharper options are turned on but you still have no intellisense, then please ReSharper's support at http://www.jetbrains.com/support/
Does anyone know how to change the ReSharper color scheme in VS2008 SP1?
I've looked around and all the posts out there on the internet pointed to dead-ends.
JetBrains at one point told users to change the colors inside VS (Tools | Options | Fonts and Colors | Text Editor) but I don't see any ReSharper items in there.
Reinstalling did not solve it for me. This is from ReSharper's support. Note: Run notepad as administrator.

Problems:
ReSharper Fonts & Colors settings do not appear in Visual Studio
after installation;
Colors from Light Color Theme are used with a
Dark Color Theme;
Solution:
Close all Visual Studio instances;
Open C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio {VS version}\Common7\IDE\Extensions\extensions.configurationchanged file;
Type anything there;
Save the file;
Open VS and check Fonts and Colors in Tools | Options | Environment;
In VS|Tools|Options|Environment|Fonts and Colors, ensure the "Show settings for:" listbox is set to Text Editor and you will find the ReSharper items.
To change the font colors of identifiers, goto:
Resharper > options > code inspection > settting > checkbox
The color identifiers.
Thanks Colby! Re-Installing ReSharper took care of it.
For future reference, the complete scenario was:
I had a trial mode ReSharper installed, once the trial expired I purchased the license, I did not try to change the color scheme during the trial period, so I don't know if the options where there before.
After re-install I can go to Fonts and Colors and all the ReSharper options are there!
