Difficult to read intellisense popup box #4884

Description

Visual Studio Code (version 0.10.11 on Windows 10586.164):

Source code, documentation, signature, all look almost the same. The following issues make it difficult to read:

  • Same background as the underlying text view
  • Same font and color as source code for documentation and signature, even line heights matches
  • Difficult to see where does documentations ends and where does the actual signature begins
  • Signature is incorrectly syntax highlighted: only the const keyword is highlighted, while any or any other type is not
  • Wraps the signature into multiple lines which makes it more difficult to read, even if I still have a bunch of space horizontally on my screen
  • +1 Links in the documentation text look like highlighted keywords. First thought was it is a bug: even the text is colorized, then seen that they are links.

For reference, Visual Studio:

  • Different background and typography, it does not feel like it is embedded into the editor (the other one looks like an area in the editor with a border, there is no depth)
  • Documentation and signature is separated visually
  • Signature colorized correctly (keywords, types, identifiers)
  • Signature is not wrapped into multiple lines

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Hover on anything
