Does anyone else have an issue where R#'s text colors are not applied on VS startup?

I've had to re-apply the color settings after each install of a new EAP version.

Specifically, the color for TO-DO items does not show up correctly after the install but the color is set correctly in Tools | Options. When I apply the changes (even though I don't make any) then the color is correct.

I thought is was something that I was doing wrong.

I have this issues too and your way to solve it is what I do always too.^^

There is already a thread and an issue tracker report about this but as it seems the source for this is an issue of the visual studio 2010 productivity power tools.
If you install new extensions you get the same problem too. It is not a resharper only issue.

I even searched issue tracker before posting.  I don't doubt it could be another plugin.  

Happens to me too! each time I fire VS I have to go to options >> Fonts and Colors and click "Ok" to make the "Current Line Highlight" reset to the color I set it to be.

I just installed the latest release 6.1.37.86 (not an EAP) and I have to fix the color on TODO items.

Here is a screen shot of the current color setting but R# is using the wrong color:



I don't change anything in the settings -- JUST HIT THE OK BUTTON and the color reverts to what it should be which can be seen here:

Yes, happens to me all the time, and the only fix I know of is the one you showed, just going to the 'Fonts and Colors' setting and hitting OK. I don't know if R# is the cause, though, as it started happening for me when I installed the 'Productivity Power Tools' into VS.

I don't use the 'Productivity Power Tools' and still it's happening, however, It can also be a bug in Visual Studio.

It's so annoying ...

Happens to me quite often. The current highlighted line is what I notice firt.

I have continual problems with the syntax colors. It's very hard to set up and know what is coloring what, or if the color is controled by vs2010 or resharper. And the colors seem unstable.

I did find a way to start to get control of the colors. I exported the color options to the xml format, then edited all the resharper colors to white foreground, black background (I only use black background), and imported the settings. Now I can set each resharper color one by one to see what part of the code changes color. (Ideally I would keep a notebook on my results.) This has allow the most progress on this undocumented feature since I've been using resharper.

Another way to duplicate the color problem is to open a project, verify that the colors are correct, then use File/New/Project.. and create a new project. I created an MVC web application this way, and the first .cs file that opens by default has the wrong colors. And they are colors controlled by resharper. To fix the colors you have to close the file and reopen or close and reopen the project, I forget which.

It seems this issue is gone for me. I had no problem since 6.1.1 updates so far. =)

I think it might be somewhat fixed.

Still not working:

1. start vs2010 with resharper colors off
2. open .cs file, see that resharper colors not applied
3. enable resharper colors, see that the coloring changes to the DEFAULT resharper colors
4. open tools | fonts and colors options and close the tools window (this forces reset of colors)
5. see that resharper colors are now set to your color settings.

Another case where it is still not working:

1. start vs2010 open project with no docs open, resharper colors enabled
2. open app.config or any xml file
3. see that highlight delimiters is enabled, but you have it set to disabled in resharper options
4. use the Tools | fonts and colors options trick to force reset
5. now see that highlight delimiters is off as per your settings.

I never noticed the problems you have descirbed however newer looked for that. I might try it and let you know.
The issue I had seems to be gone... but I will take a look into your steps.

After todays update I noticed that highlight current line color was once again the false one... fix via Fonts and Color options worked...
So I was wrong, to bad.

I thought it could be Power Productivity Tools as well, Happens less lately, and seems to be when I update almost any VS extension.  So may not be a R# issue.  I just noticed it because R#'s colors were not being applied.

I gave up and accepted this behaviour as annoying as it may be because I'm not sure anymore, whatever I do it's just stays there.

I also think Productivity Power Tools is the source of the issues. I can live with it as updates of extensions are happening much lesser than in the past.
The problem is some features are built in into VSNext so I hope they do not copy the issues as well.
Has someone tested R# 6.1 with VSNext?
