VS 2005 Customization
-
Just upgraded to VS2005 from VS 2002. What an ugly, distracting environment - but I'll get used to it. Right now the one thing I'm stuck on are the "expand/contract" icons that appear in the source code. They are eyesores. But I can't figure out how to turn them off - does anyone know? Thx

You mean Code Outlining? Try
Tools / Options / Text Editor / 'C/C++' / Formattingand then turn off 'Enter Outlining Mode When Files Open' Gavin Taylor w: http://www.gavspace.com -

In VS, go to Tools -> Options. Select Text Editor -> C/C++ -> Formatting. Uncheck "Enter outlining mode when files open". You can close and reopen VS to reset outlining in all open docs, if you want. Remember that you can toggle outlining for the current document with Edit -> Outlining -> (Stop Outlining) or (Start Automatic Outlining). -- I've killed again, haven't I?

Thanks to all for the replies. Turns out the correct option is the "Selection Margin", which makes no sense to me (I had already turned off all of the other suggested options)

Actually, the "Selection Margin" option controls just that--the selection margin. In addition to removing the outlining controls (which lie in the selection margin), removal of the selection margin also removes the selection margin itself. The presented solutions remove just the outlining controls as requested. -- I've killed again, haven't I?
