How to turn off colour syntax highlighting in Visual Studio 2005 text editor?

Question

_{Monday, December 1, 2008 5:04 PM}

Hi, like one in ten white males, I am colour blind. Without going through each and every one of the 100+ font and colour combinations listed in Environment - Fonts And Colours, how do I turn off syntax highlighting in the Visual Studio 2005 text editor?

Basically I just want black text on a white background, except for text I've selected (e.g. with the mouse/shift-cursor keys).

In Vi/Vim/GVim, I can do this with one simple ":syntax off" command.

I'm colour blind, not visually impaired, so I don't need a high contrast colour scheme, nor do I need to turn off all colours. Just the syntax highlighting.

Thanks in advance!

If you want to turn off/configure the intellisense of the Visual Studio, please refer to **Tools - Options - Text Editor - All Languages **or General.

Unfortunately, there is no single switch to turn off the syntax insensitive, one needs to set the text colors and fonts in "Environment - Fonts And Colors" one by one to let it just "black text on a white background".
