This is my syntax highlighting setup in C# and C/C++: User's image

Keywords are orange and classes and other objects are blue.

Now when I work in javascript this is how it looks:
User's image

The keywords are orange which is a good thing, but the classes are white(Vector2).
This is where I changed the colors in the option menu:
User's image

I also did this in the C++ items, however I can't seem to find items for javascript. How to add color to javascript classes?

    Hi @Mihai F , 

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

    Which version of Visual Studio are you using? Please update it to the latest version with Visual Studio installer. 

    I tested with the latest version of VS2022 Community version 17.5.4. The class color in JavaScript file can be changed through User Types – Classes option.

    If you want more richer syntax highlighting for JavaScript file, you can use the Visual Studio 2022 Preview version.

    Sincerely,

    Anna
