    Hi, I just started to mess around with shaders. All my .shader files are classified under miscellaneous files and syntax specific to shader won't highlight at all...

    Anyone know how to solve this? Many thanks!

    By default Visual Studio doesn’t have syntax highlighting for Unity’s shaders. Search for “Unity Shaderlab syntax highlighting” and install one of the options.
