Syntax highlighting
Last modified: 21 July 2022ReSharper extends the default Visual Studio's symbol highlighting. Additionally, it highlights fields, local variables, types, and other identifier with configurable colors. For example, ReSharper syntax highlighting allows you to easily distinguish between local variables and fields in your code.
ReSharper syntax highlighting for C# with default colors looks as follows:
Toggle ReSharper syntax highlighting
Select ReSharper | Options from the main menu or press Alt+R O, then choose Code Inspection | Settings on the left.
Use the Color Identifiers checkbox to enable or disable ReSharper syntax highlighting.
Click Save in the Options dialog to apply the modifications and let ReSharper choose where to save them, or save the modifications to a specific settings layer using the Save To list. For more information, see manage and share resharper settings.
Configure colors and fonts
Choose Tools | Options from the menu and then go to Environment | Font and Colors page.
In Display items, scroll down the list until you find items that begin with
ReSharper. Explore the list to view or edit formatting and highlighting of ReSharper items.
