How can I make all of the IDisposable classes colored differently in the Visual Studio IDE?

c#, ide, visual-studio

Solution

It is certainly possible to do this though it isn't as simple as just changing a setting. You would need to write a Visual Studio addin to accomplish this.

Problem

Title covers it all. I'd like classes which implement IDisposable to show up in a specific color so I can know if I should wrap them in a using block. Is there a setting or a process by which you can extend the IDE?
