Why don't I have settings for F # syntax colors in VS 2017?

Question

I used VS 2015 and, by going over Tools/Options/Fonts and Colors/Show Settings for: Text Editor, I could scroll down and find quite a few F # elements, such as F# Escaped Characters, F# Functions / Methodsetc., which I could use to change the colors and fonts of the text associated with F # in the editor.

In VS 2017, these F # related elements no longer exist.

I set the same settings as in VS 2015 (.vssettings file).

I also have ColorThemeEditor.vsix and FSharpPowerTools.vsix installed. (Or, at least when I double-click on these files, I get a message that they are already installed)

Does anyone know how to get these F # elements in the settings Fonts and Colorsfor the editor?

Answer 1

Obviously, we care about our colors and ligatures and other performance tuning options :-). I promised myself to wait until Update 3, but here it goes:

Since VFPT is added in VS, some of the parameters are absent and less obvious than in VS2015, however in VS2017 this exists:

The User Types section also has some options.

Now this may depend on whether the latest F # Extensions update is installed and / or updated.
