What's ReSharper.EnhancedTooltip?

--------------

It's a plugin for [JetBrains ReSharper](http://www.jetbrains.com/resharper/) that enhances the tooltip and parameter information popup.  

- Colorizes tooltips and parameter information popups for C#.

- Displays icons for identifiers and issues in the tooltip.

- Uses the colors and font configured in Visual Studio.

- Can optionally display more documentation (return type, remarks).

- Can optionally display base type and implemented interfaces in the tooltip.

- Can optionally display full attribute information in the tooltip.

- Everything is configurable.

Installation

------------

Visual Studio 2017, 2019 and 2022 are supported.  

ReSharper 2022.1 must be installed.  

(Note: older versions are still available for previous ReSharper versions).

Install the plugin using the built-in Extension Manager from the ReSharper menu.  

Tooltip Highlighting

--------------------

The tooltip that appears on mouse over is now syntax highlighted. Note that only the tooltips provided by ReSharper are currently colored.

Parameter Info Highlighting

---------------------------

The parameter information popup is now syntax highlighted.

The colors used for the types are either the ones having a name starting by _ReSharper_ if _Color identifiers_ is used, or the Visual Studio ones starting with _User Types_ otherwise.

Options

Enhanced Tooltip provides many options to configure the display as you like.  

The options page is located at ReSharper → Options → Environment → IntelliSense → Enhanced Tooltip.

Current Limitations

-----------

- Colors only work in C# files. The standard tooltip and parameter information popup are used in other file types.

- The parameter information popup isn't highlighted for calls using named parameters.
