Visual-studio – TODO comment font color in VS2010 with ReSharper and Productivity Power Tools

productivity-power-toolsresharpertodovisual studio

I just installed the Productivity Power Tools for Visual Studio 2010. I also have ReSharper installed. Prior to the PowerTools installation, my TODO comments (i.e. // TODO: Do Something) were showing up in the code using the font listed under VS options as "Resharper Todo Item". Now it's a dark blue color, and apparently ignoring the setting in the VS options.

I'm using a dark theme, so I can barely read these comments. I've dug through all the options I can find (all of the options in VS options including the new power tools options, and in the ReSharper options), and can't find it.

Any thoughts?

To change the colour of the TODO items in the text editor, change the environment settings using Visual Studio (Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Fonts and Colors)

Then scroll to the item in the "Display items" list which in this case is "Resharper TODO item"

UPDATE: this applies to Resharper 7.1 and 8.2 upwards as pointed out in this comment

For Resharper 8 < 8.2 please see the solution below by @Soeholm
