Why don't I have settings for F# syntax colors in VS 2017?

I was using VS 2015 and by going to Tools/Options/Fonts and Colors/Show Settings for: Text Editor I could scroll down and find quite a few F# items like F# Escaped Characters, F# Functions / Methods, etc. that I could use to change colors and fonts of F# related text in the editor.

In VS 2017 these F# related items are no longer there.

I installed the same settings I had in VS 2015 (a .vssettings file).

I also have ColorThemeEditor.vsix and FSharpPowerTools.vsix installed. (Or at least when I double-click on these files I get a message that they are already installed)

Would someone know how to get these F# items into the Fonts and Colors settings for the editor?

They are actually still there. For instance, if you want to change keyword or operator color just find keyword and operator and change the color. I understand that you want to see F# keyword in the list but it changed.

Obviously we care about our colors and ligatures and other productivity boosting settings :-). I promised myself to wait until Update 3 at least but here it goes:

As VFPT is being folded into VS proper some of the settings are missing and less obvious than in VS2015, however in VS2017 this exists:

There are also some settings under User Types.

Now this may depend on having the latest F# Extensions installed and/or updated.
