VS2005 giveth, and VS2005 taketh away

we have just been upgraded from VS2003 to VS2005, so in between various other jobs, i am trying to get the new IDE setup correctly. step 1 - set the fonts and colours how i want them. on the plus point there is now an option to highlight C++ code wrapped in #if 0 / #endif, which is a big step forward. you just have to wait a few seconds for the IDE to catch up with you. but then i run into a bit of confusion, why does changing the colour of "operator" to red have no effect? have they changed the definition of operator? i check the help, and get no where useful. so i decided to load a small C# project, and operators are coloured red. in C++, it no longer works. :(( this worked fine in VS2003 and i found it very helpful. i am starting to suspect that most of the fonts and colours options have no effect in C++ zen is the art of being at one with the two'ness

*um* prompted by this good news i have just tried this at home, and it is working perfectly in VS2005 running in VMWare on win2k. i am getting a couple of other "odd" effects with colours on my work machine, so some form of reinstall is probably called for :doh: i only formatted it Thursday of last week, it has not even been a week yet. still, thank you for checking this, at least now i know this should be fixable :rose: zen is the art of being at one with the two'ness
