This is a really great and integrated piece of software!

However. I would really like to be able to set the PHP syntax highlighting colors separately from the VS ones.

For example the 'Identifier' setting. In PHP it refers to functions while in C# it refers to variables. This is very annoying and confusing when using it.

Please give me a set of custom PHP color settings.

Copied from VS Gallery Review http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microso ... 5f50c95fb5

Since it was me who posted this on the VS Gallery, i would like to clarify my suggestion.

What i want is the option for setting the colors independently from other languages. Which means i want options like the following:

PHP Variables
PHP Strings
PHP Functions
etc.

I.e. all with the prefix PHP.

If they were prefixed with PHP, then I am guessing the color schemes from:

http://studiostyl.es/

Would not work?

I would like to see a list of the styles for PHP and how they affect the code.

Currently I cannot figure out how to color variables for example!

That would be one of the problems if we'd create display items for all PHP elements. I think the best way is to use predefined display items for whatever fits and use custom display items for elements not predefined in VS e.g. PHP Variable,... This way these kind of styles would works and it's just necesary to define few display items.

Btw. PHP Tools define PHP Variable as display item, but the bug in VS2012 causes that list of display items doesn't get updated automaticaly. However there is hotfix solution for this viewtopic.php?f=21&t=643&start=10#p3059
