I change the Selected Text color which only allows you to change the background color but when I select some text, I notice the color is definitely not uniform all across. The selected text's background color looks different for a keyword vs an identifier.
Here is how it looks:
Is there a way to fix this?
It seems that Visual Studio 2012 doesn't like non-default fonts. Probably a bug in VS2012. Press the use Default fonts to solve the problem, so far that's the only solution I know.

I've installed Android Studio 2.1 and switched to the dark theme. How do I get rid of this background color? I can't seem to find it anywhere. I've changed all the background colors of comments but I can't seem to get rid of this:
The Created by Can... comment has a background like it's selected (of course it's not selected) and it's really disturbing my attention.
That background is actually warning highlight from code inspection. You can disable it by going to Settings -> Editor -> Inspections, where you can search for Default File Template Usage and uncheck it (screenshot for help).
I've been using VsVim for a while and I have been pretty happy with it. However, the one thing that has been annoying me is the highlighting of text when I do any kind of search in VsVim such using * or the standard search with /.
I've spent hours trying to change the fonts and colors in the Visual Studios options menu, but I haven't found a way to change the color scheme. Below is a picture with the highlight text. Any help on this matter would greatly improve my productivity.
Unfortunately there is a bug in the handling of fonts / colors in Visual Studio that makes it impossible to change the highlight color in VsVim through the standard Fonts and Colors options page. The most recent version of VsVim (1.7.0) added a custom color menu to its option page which allows for this, and a few other, colors to be changed
Just go to Tools -> Options -> VsVim
Ok, I am using the Visual Studio 2012 Color Theme Editor extension and I have modified the dark theme a little bit so that it suits my needs.
However I am experiencing an issue with the background color when I am using the Find tool. The issue is that I am setting an exact color for the background of the highlighted string, but it seems that there is some default transparency applied which is not editable even when using the editor mentioned above (VS gives you the option to edit the colors while the custom editor gives you the option to change the opacity as well).
Since I am using the dark theme whichever color I choose it looks like dark grey with a little bit of red/blue/yellow/whatever. I need to set it to something vibrant and not to dark grey with a drop of white for example - I want to easily see what is highlighted when I search.
How do I set it to something vibrant and not to dark grey with a drop of white for example - I want to easily see what is highlighted when I search?
I seem to be missing Visual Studio 2012's color picker feature in the css editor. It only shows a drop down menu.
I've tried changing the color picker option in preferences. Also tried resetting settings.
Any ideas will be much appreciated.
Thanks
Type # after the property:
color:#
With Resharper installed, I need to click Ctrl J.
That gives you the first bit of the drop down (some swatches). You then click the double arrow pointing down to get the color picker proper.
Are you typing the pound "#" sign? That's what triggers the nice color picker.
(eg, "color:#" when you press "#" you get the picker, otherwise you just get crappy dropdown).
Do you have any extensions installed? ReSharper in particular? I was experiencing the same problem, and thought that ReSharper might've been the cause. Uninstalled it, and now I have the CSS color picker as advertised. If you don't have ReSharper installed, it may be caused by another extension.
I've started to use Visual Studio 2012 and there is one feature that really upsets me: the way the selection in text editor looks. For some reason it looks differently for variables and all other text. The same is right for the break-point high-lighting:
Is there a setting to make the selection and break-pointed line appear uniform as in all previous versions of VS and all other editors?
There is no setting for this, but why your selection looks ugly is because you set a background color for given (identifier) types. In Tools*Options*Environment*Fonts and Colors select Identifiers and set Item Background to Default
