Why don't I have settings for F# syntax colors in VS 2017?

Question

I was using VS 2015 and by going to Tools/Options/Fonts and Colors/Show Settings for: Text Editor I could scroll down and find quite a few F# items like F# Escaped Characters , F# Functions / Methods , etc. that I could use to change colors and fonts of F# related text in the editor.

In VS 2017 these F# related items are no longer there.

I installed the same settings I had in VS 2015 (a .vssettings file).

I also have ColorThemeEditor.vsix and FSharpPowerTools.vsix installed. (Or at least when I double-click on these files I get a message that they are already installed)

Would someone know how to get these F# items into the Fonts and Colors settings for the editor?

Answer 1

Obviously we care about our colors and ligatures and other productivity boosting settings :-). I promised myself to wait until Update 3 at least but here it goes:

As VFPT is being folded into VS proper some of the settings are missing and less obvious than in VS2015, however in VS2017 this exists:

There are also some settings under User Types.

Now this may depend on having the latest F# Extensions installed and/or updated.

Answer 2

They are actually still there. For instance, if you want to change keyword or operator color just find keyword and operator and change the color. I understand that you want to see F# keyword in the list but it changed.
