Three tips actually. All color coding related. Open VS.NET, click Tools - Options and then Environment - Fonts and Colors

1. Under display items, browse down to Operator. Select 'Maroon' for foreground color and check 'Bold'.
2. Under display items, browse down to String. Select 'Dark Blue' for foreground color.
3. Under display items, browse down to Xml Doc Comment. Select 'Custom' for background color and select a very light grey, like RGB 245, 245, 245. Do this also for Xml Tag
