Visual Studio 2022 introduces new options for customizing the collapsed text indicator, which helps in distinguishing between different sections of collapsed text in the editor. This aims to make the coding environment more intuitive and easier to use by providing additional customization for visual cues.
Customizing your coding environment
You can now personalize the color and background of the editor’s collapsed text indicator independently by setting custom colors for both the collapsed and expanded text indicators. This feature can be accessed via the Tools > Options > Environment > Fonts and Colors menu.
The two new entries in the Test Editor settings list that control the color of the collapsed text indicator are:
- Collapsed Text Indicator (Collapsed)
- Collapsed Text Indicator (Expanded)
In addition to customizing the collapsed and expanded colors separately, both the foreground and background colors for these indicators can be set independently from one another.
Conclusion
This new customization feature in Visual Studio 2022 enhances the coding environment by providing clear visual distinctions between different sections of code, making it easier to navigate and manage.
