Description David Jackman CLA 2004-06-29 13:49:14 EDT 
A new feature in 3.0 is the syntax coloring in code displayed in hover text (as
well as in code assist).  However, this "feature" is now the one thing in the
way of allowing syntax coloring on dark backgrounds (much easier on the eyes). 
Because you can't control what color the background is for hover text, the
syntax colored code isn't readable, since the colors are light-on-light.

Please add an option to turn off syntax coloring in hover text.  In addition,
adding the ability to change the default background color for hover text would
be nice (though I would probably use the first option).

This also applies to showing code in the Declaration view.
