Is there an option to colorize types and paramrefs in the summary when hovering?

Answered

Hey, I have been using the Rider IDE for a while, but I have been wondering if there's an option to give the tags (like <see cref="TypeName"/>, or <paramref name="item"/>) a color in the hover info, when hovering over the method or params, like in Visual Studio?

I know there's View->Quick Documentation, but I would like it colorized in the hover info too :-)

Here's what I'm talking about:

In Visual Studio:

Here's what the hover info looks like in Rider:

I don't believe that RIDER-36614 addresses this issue, as it is referencing a complaint about the highlighting in the parameter prompt, where as what Jesper is talking about is the lack of colouring in the popup when you hover your mouse over an element such as a class, function, variable, etc.

As such, I think this deserves it's own issue.

Hi Mesakom

I've doublechecked and indeed there are RIDER-8444 and related RSRP-397233 that matches better for this case. Please, upvote them to increase priority and be notified about the progress.
