Does anyone know how to change the ReSharper color scheme in VS2008 SP1 ?

I've looked around and all the posts out there one the internet pointed to dead-ends. JeBrains at one point told users to change the colors inside VS (Tools|Options|Fonts and Colors|Text Editor) but I don't see any Resharper items in there.

Thanks.

Reinstalling did not solve it for me. This is from Resharper's support. Note: Run notepad as administrator.

Problems:

  • ReSharper Fonts & Colors settings do not appear in Visual Studio after installation;
  • Colors from Light Color Theme are used with a Dark Color Theme;

Solution:

  • Close all Visual Studio instances;
  • Open C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio {VS version}\Common7\IDE\Extensions\extensions.configurationchanged file;
  • Type anything there;
  • Save the file;
  • Open VS and check Fonts and Colors in Tools | Options | Environment;
