Folks, I just noted that Visual Studio 2010 has changed the way C# XML doc comments are coloured in the editor window. In VS2008 the XML doc background colour filled all the way to the right. In VS2010 it now fits to the foreground text (first sample). I much preferred the old way, as I would set the background colour to something distinctive (green in this case) and it made a nice visual separator between the methods. You would see a "block of colour" between methods. This visual "block of separation effect" is now weakened and it all looks jagged.
I doubt if there's an option to revert to the old behaviour, but if anyone knows, let me know. I tried setting the document colours to something with high contrast (second sample), but it's a bit shocking and I remain undecided. I personally think that a visual clue to separation of code blocks in large source files is important. VB used to have the separator line, which I quite liked, but it would abut the last code line and look a bit ugly. Greg
