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?

update

Please see answer by @cordal below which is the correct answer.

My original answer is as below.

Did you try this dialog? (Resharper -> Options -> Tools -> Todo items) near the bottom

enter image description here

I didn't see that screen even existed - the "Edit" button didn't activate when I clicked on "Todos", but double-clicking the item brought it up - weird. Regardless, that didn't change anything, but now the comments are magically matching the normal "ReSharper Todo Item" color from the regular options, so I'm all good now. Maybe my machine just needed a reboot to flush itself out. – Joe Enos Jun 14 '11 at 16:21

@wal, unfortunately the colour settings you refer to and illustrate only apply to the colour of the To-do items in the ReSharper To-do window, not the actual comments used for the items. – ProfK Jul 23 '11 at 18:21
cheers, updated my answer with a redirect to the correct answer – wal Oct 10 '12 at 14:40

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"

If it will help to someone, I found one more collision with the TODO thing in Visual Studio 2010. It happens when VSCommands extensions is installed. To fix the TODO colouring,

  1. go to Tools -> Options -> Fonts and Colors.
  2. Find VSCommands.Comment.Todo in the Display Items list.
  3. Fix the colouring ;)
