Syntax highlight fail on Classes in Visual Studio 2012

I recently installed Visual Studio on a laptop and the syntax highlight fails to change Classes colors.

I tried exporting and importing the full, complete set of settings and it is still looking like that.

EDIT

I tried those websites with schemes and decided to try one, the Humane scheme, and this is how the sample code looks in my laptop after installing those settings:

However, this is how it is supposed to look:

Note the lack of highlight in class names.

What could it be causing this? I'm starting to think that's another setting at another place which causes this.

Finally, it worked by resetting user data, running this from the Visual Studio Command Prompt

devenv /Resetuserdata

Changin syntax highlight could be done through the menu Tools - Options - Environment - Font & Colors. It's a try and test approach that is not much improved from earlier versions of Visual Studio.

Fortunately, today there are entire sites with themes that simply need to be choosen and installed I suggest you to visit http://studiostyl.es/ where you can find thousands themes or, for more generic go to http://www.hanselman.com/blog/VisualStudioProgrammerThemesGallery.aspx
