Hi,

is there a way to fill the "Line Changed" indicator box as it used to be in the old visual studio? I guess this was done so that VS is more accessible for colourblind people, but I would prefer to have a filled-in block just like when the code is saved (see the 1st picture).

Please let me know if there is a way to change this.

What I get (VS 2022)

Thank you in advance!

    Hi @Jiří IV ,

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.

    Do you mean these two items: "Track Changes before save" and "Track Changed after save"? If so, please go to Tools > Options > Environment > Fonts and Colors > Display items > find these two items and change the related Item background.
