"private member" comes with wrong foreground color

[HeinzKessler]

In my understanding, format settings add up from the lowest row in the list to the highest, so that every row modifies the format settings of the rows below it, see screenshot.
But wherever there is a "private member" attribute somewhere in the list, this fixes the foreground color to grey, regardless of the foreground color settings of the rows above.
In my case, "Method" should set the foreground color to dark orange, but "private member" below inhibits this and makes the foreground color stay grey. This also applies to private properties, fields etc. instead of methods.
Sometimes I manage to make it work correctly, but I can't tell how, and only until the next start of VS.
Note: The opacity of 12 for "private member" shall dim al subsequent colors if it's a private method, property etc.
Interestingly this bug only applies to the foreground color, not the background color.

I am using version 7.7. Beta

Do not set foreground color for the private member. It has higher precedence over method, field, property etc., so it can override your specific style on those elements.
There is opacity for background, just below the foreground opacity. If you want to dim the background, you should specify value for background opacity.

I altered the precedence of private member and sealed member. Now they have lower precedence.
Please try the new beta.

Hi, yes, I tried it and this looks great. Something unrelated to this topic: If I click on “All Languages” in the menu on the left, VS freezes for about a minute, and then crashes. Shall I open a new issue for that? Heinz Von: WMJ ***@***.***> Gesendet: Montag, 7.
