TODO comment font color in VS2010 with ReSharper and Productivity Power Tools

Solution 1:

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

Solution 2:

I had this problem with Resharper 8.0.1 and none of the other answers helped me since "Resharper TODO item" did not show up in the list.

I found a solution to the problem here:

http://resharper-support.jetbrains.com/entries/26859128-ReSharper-Fonts-Colors-settings-do-not-appear-in-Visual-Studio-after-installation

1. Close all Visual Studio instances
2. Open C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio {VS version}\Common7\IDE\Extensions\extensions.configurationchanged file
3. Type anything there
4. Save the file
5. Open VS and check Fonts and Colors in Tools | Options | Environment

Hope this helps any Resharper 8 users :-)
