visual assist x dark color theme

I have installed visual assist X, I use visual studio for my C++ development. However, I am not sure how can I enable the dark theme color scheme as mentioned here http://www.wholetomato.com/products/features/color.asp?

Allegedly, you can set a value in the registry to fix it:

You can coax Visual Assist into making its decisions differently, e.g. into assuming your theme is similar to the Dark theme, by setting the following registry DWORD value:

HKCU\Software\Whole Tomato\Visual Assist X\\VsThemeColorBehavior

Set to 2 to assume unknown themes are Dark.

However, I couldn't find it doesn't work for my version of Visual Assist (requires 2023, but doesn't work on 2258). Also, the registry value is reset to 0 when I open VAssist Options.

The only theme I can get it to use dark colours for is "Dark" which uses a light editor (!?).

According to the documentation at the link, if you have a dark background and press the "use defaults" button, the colors will default to ones appropriate for a dark scheme:

The scheme selected upon installation or when pressing Use Defaults in the VA Options Dialog depends on your current IDE color scheme.
