How do I change the font in VS2012's test results window ?
I'm guessing it's somewhere under Environment -> Fonts and Colors but there's just too many options there. Here's an image for clarification:
Yes, this is an awful bug that makes the already unusable test explorer even more unusable. There is a workaround, and that is to set Environment -> Fonts and Colors -> Environment Font which will change the font in the test explorer window. But this changes everything too.

Goal: I'm using a VS extension called "ClaudiaIDE" that enables you to set an image as a background to Visual Studio 2019. I set the background to a wood grain wallpaper (it looks amazing). It makes the code editor background and main window background transparent so you can see the image, but not anything else. I then started using Color Theme Editor to add transparency to other sections of the VS IDE so it's mostly showing the background image. I want the right side windows (like solution explorer) to be transparent as well.
Two stackoverflow answers say the color value is stored under "treeview". I changed the "treeview" background using the wizard but it made no difference (despite other SO comments saying it worked). Likely due to the old answers being for VS 2017 or earlier.
I then changed the "treeview" color manually in the CustomTheme.vstheme file and I successfully made the grey color transparent, but now there is an absolute black blackground, which was perhaps there to give a shadow effect. The code I edited is below (The opacity is intentional):
<Category Name="TreeView" GUID="{92ecf08e-8b13-4cf4-99e9-ae2692382185}">
<Color Name="Background">
<Background Type="CT_RAW" Source="00252526" />
<Foreground Type="CT_RAW" Source="FFF1F1F1" />
</Color>
I searched for every reference of "#FF000000" and for testing made them all fully transparent: "#00000000". This made no difference, solution explorer retained its "#FF000000" (by observation only, I don't know where the code is). I know the hex is right because I copied a screenshot into paint.net and grabbed the color.
I then changed my Microsoft Windows settings so that it didn't use the dark background, in case it was applying that to the VS windows. No change.
If anyone has any ideas on how to access the black underlying background for windows like "solution explorer" i would greatly appreciate it. It must be getting that value from somewhere.
Install this:
https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=VisualStudioPlatformTeam.VisualStudio2019ColorThemeEditor
Top menu:
Tool=>Customize Colors => choose theme
Show All Elements button (same row with save icon)
Search for (there is search box):
Environment → ToolWindowFloatingFrameInactive
Environment → ToolWindowFloatingFrame
Tool Window → Tab → Background
TreeView → Background
I think the title is already clear enough.
I have been able to change the font for my editor through accessing:
Preferences > Editor > Color Scheme > Font
But happens that some of my fonts are not available there; although a lot of them they are. This happens to me in this machine with the FightingSpirit font. Not that I want to use it but it's one where the issue happens.
At work I have added ligatures to the Menlo font using an open source project and it doesn't show up. I've tried disabling Show only monospaced fonts and although more fonts show up, some of the fonts still are not available.
Is there any fix for this, is it impossible for some fonts or am I doing something wrong?
EDIT
I have been able to set that ligaturized font to some of my editors and terminal, so the font is not corrupted and does work.
After some IDE updates the font showed up so the problem fixed itself
Every font I try to change to that isn't Consolas or Courier just shows up as Courier.
I don't understand. Terminal, FixedSys, Terminus (custom), Lucida Console, and every other mono-space font I tried using just comes up as Courier.
I've ran VS as Administrator, re-logged, changed my control panel font size settings, tried different zoom %'s within VS, change the font size around a bunch within VS as well... nothing seems to work.
I googled around and couldn't find anyone with the same problem. Any help much appreciated!
How to change the font size of the Resharper?
I found the font size of File Structure, Live Templates and other UI components unbearably small.
I couldn't find any options to customize font size. I tried to increase Windows DPI to 150%. That works but cause a lot of other problems.
I'm using Resharper 5.1.3.
Thanks
ReSharper still uses system font settings for many of its controls. Use the Control Panel to change font size in these controls.
Same as changing the colors, it's in visual studio options not resharper.
but under resharper settings.
Look at this link:
Changing Resharper's color scheme
look carefully at the issues presented in some user's visual studio. I had to reinstall resharper in order to change the color and font size.
