Enhanced Semantic Syntax Colorizer

An enhanced Visual Studio 2015, 2017, 2019 and 2022 editor extension for semantic syntax highlighting.

Example with theme (https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=LeonardoTozzo.eclipse-dark-theme) Preview.png

It uses the Roslyn APIs to highlight the following syntax types in distinctive colors to make them easily recognizable.

To change the colors use the regular Visual Studio "Font and Colors" Options. Look for Semantic * in the "Display items".

  • Class fields
  • Enum fields
  • Static methods
  • Regular methods
  • Constructors
  • Type parameters
  • Parameters
  • Namespaces
  • Class properties
  • Local variables
  • Special types (built in)
  • Call methods
  • Declaration methods
  • Built in methods

This extension works for the first final version of Visual Studio 2015 and all successors.

You might want to combine this extension with:

  • Viasfora - color access modifiers, control flow
  • Build in User Types - * Display Items - to change color for regular types class, enum, delegate etc.
