Answer 1

You should be able to change the text background for Razor code by:

1. Opening Visual Studio Options (Under Tools -> Options),
2. Selecting "Fonts and Colors" (Under Environment in the treeview at left)
3. Changing the dropdown box at top to "Text Editor" (if that isn't the value already),
4. Choosing "Razor Code" from the "Display Items" listbox, and
5. Changing the background color to your liking and clicking "OK" to apply the change.

There's also an "HTML Server-Side Script" setting that controls the background color of the Razor code delimiters (the @ expression and similar expressions that mark the beginnings of code blocks.)

HTH,
