The formatting can be changed in the Options dialog under Environment > Fonts and Colors > Text Editor.
NOTE: Italics support is now disabled in this extension by default, since it is supported natively in VS 2022 from v17.10 🥳 🎉
You may need to manually change formatting of various comment types in the Options dialog: Environment > Fonts and Colors > Text Editor.
