In CLion (2021.1), it seems all comments are syntax-highlighted the same way, even if they're Doxygen documentation comments. I couldn't find a Doxygen plugin which might help with that. How can I make CLion highlight Doxygen differently?

Since CLion 2021.2 (EAP) the highlighting of Doxygen comments has changed and different from the previous versions. It is consistent with JB Idea now. Please, read here about it.

Isn't the same as what I wrote? With the exception of "Doxygen" instead of "Doc Comment" ? – einpoklum Jun 30 '21 at 09:02

No. There is C/C++ Language specific color setup, the bug in color layers was fixed. That essentially changes the highlighting in CLion 2021.2 in comparison with previous versions. – uta Jun 30 '21 at 09:08

Ah, ok. Could you edit your comment into the answer? And, specifically, say that the Doxygen highlighting color is now different? – einpoklum Jun 30 '21 at 09:13

Actually, CLion does highlight Doxygen differently, but in some of the Themes (e.g. IntelliJ Light), the color chosen for regular and Doxygen comments is the same.
To change that:
- On the menus, select File | Settings.
- In the settings dialog, navigate to: Editor | Color Scheme | Language Defaults.
- In the settings pane's tree box, navigate to: Comments | Doc Comments | Text.
- Change the color to something else (I go with 5C8CC0 which reminds me of Doxygen in Eclipse).
