# Color Coder
[![Build status](https://ci.appveyor.com/api/projects/status/vkftm32rfsm8rsv9?svg=true)](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/HamidMosalla/visualstudio-colorcoder)

Color Coder is a lightweight extension for Visual Studio 2019 and 2022. It can help you change the color of various programming constructs, such as:
      
* EnumMember          
* Constructor (C# Only)       
* Field               
* LocalVariable       
* Namespace           
* Method              
* StaticMethod        
* ExtensionMethod     
* Property            
* Parameter           
* Module (VB Only)              
* Interface           
* Class               
* Attribute 
* Struct              
* Enum                
* Delegate            
* GenericTypeParameter

When you initially install Color Coder, it doesn't change the colors, you should go to its option page to change it, you can see an example of its use on methods and constructors down below:

You can change the colors through Color Coder's options page:

You can also change the colors by selecting from a set of predefined options or restore the colors to visual studio default:
