Changing the font for member variables in Visual Studio

Question

I don’t think it’s possible, but I’ll ask anyway ...

Is there a way to set the color and font for class member variables in the editor? I just returned to C ++ and Visual Studio after being in the Java world for the past 4 years and I really "→ did not have IDEA Jetbrains (Java IDE for killer). I'm really used to the fact that my editor uses colors and fonts to indicate member functions, statics, etc.

If Visual Studio cannot do this, is there a better development environment for programming with C ++ / MFC? Visual Studio makes me feel like I entered a time machine and was ported ten years ago. Also, I'm still 38 and not in shape.

Not in VS 2008. In PDC, we saw a preview of VS 2010, which is supposed to allow multiple fonts to be used.

Not free, but Visual Assist is an add-on for vs2005 / 2008 that allows you to assign different colors to classes, variables, macros, and functions (among other functions).
