I have this scss file with some variables like this: $ThemeColor1: #0092bc; $ThemeColor2: #2c2a29; $ThemeColor3: #444444; etc. In visual studio 2010 with the free version of web workbench i somehow got coloring to the left of the color. A square box with the color. Then i upgraded to visual studio 2012, and the pro web workbench version. And the coloring is gone ? I have web essentials and resharper installed. Same as before. I'm not sure who where responsible for the coloring :/ Colors inside the scss file works ok. But color variables has no colors, well thats not a problem but i would like to see the colors when viewing the theme colors.. Is it web essentials or web workbench that handles the coloring ? |

Web Workbench doesn't handle the colouring. I expect this would be coming from Web Essentials. One thing to keep in mind is under VS2012 Web Workbench and Web Essentials can no longer happily co-exist due to changes in Web Essentials so you may need to keep that disabled depending of if it causes an actual problem for what you are working on.

Any plans of coloring support ? Yes it seems to be some conflicts with web essentials. Disabling web essentials, and enabling web workbench. Gives me noe css parameter intellisense, no colors, css attributes and sass variables are displayed in intellisense. Enabling web essentials and disabling web workbench intellisense gives me much better css intellisense. Both attributes and parameters. Coloring . But no sass variables in the intellisense. Any way for now, i disabled web workbench intellisense and enabled web essentials. I can live without sass variables. Mostly because the intellisense is really slow in web workbench when you use a lot of sass variables. I have a scss with around 120 variables. If i include this in another scss file 700 lines long. Typing at the end of that file is painfully slow.. Web essentials intellisense is much faster. Web workbench needs to be optimized, and get better css intelisense i think. :( |

On the colouring - we do have an open feature request to add this in but its a way down the popularity list at this stage so you might want to add some support to that here: http://www.mindscapehq.com/thinktank/suggestion/386683 Thanks for the feedback on the intellisense performance - we are aware it could be better and we are looking at how we can speed this up (or just leverage VS where possible now they are adding in more support for Less etc in the later 2012 updates).
