How to get back Visual Studio's old way of alerting of suggestions by darkening code instead of by 3 dots?

Viewed 115

Visual Studio used to alert us of unused variables by darkening them. Now (version 16.10.2) it fills the code with three dots everywhere, which look a little like code and are more confusing.

Is there a way to get the old way back?

There is a color control for the ellipses called "Suggestion Ellipses...". You could set the foreground color of it to the same color as your editors background to get a sense that its turned off. You'll still see it when you select the item though like so:

Version 16.10.3 now

It looks like they changed it back.

So if you still have it - update VS.
