The VS syntax highlighting is not like the monodevelop’s syntax! On monodevelop all your class members and unity classes and its members gets a special highlighting, only the local variables is not highlighted, while on VS everything is plain white (or the default plain text color you’re using), the only thing that is highlighted on VS are the user/unity types… why that? Is there any way to fix that?
I am now using Codinion which let me configure the highlighting of every single thing!
Take a look at the Visual Studio Tools > Options window to highlight variable names, there’s a check box in the text display options to highlight all variable calls. I’m not really sure why you’d want that, but you can. If intellisense is working as it should you should be able to see all every instance of a variable highlight when you mouse over or place the keyboard cursor in the variable name.
