  Good Morning

  I have a question concerning SQL Server Management Studio. When returning data to the grid a NULL value will have a pale yellow background. A 'NULL' value of course will not, it will be the default white background.

  Is there a way to change the background color for a real NULL to be something more noticeable? This would be handy if it could be a changeable color, say neon red with flashing lights.

  Thanks in advance all,

  Jeff

  I found this: http://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/ViewFeedback.aspx?FeedbackID=243826

  I don't see a setting specifically for NULL, but I bet it's somewhere in the XML file for SSMS.
