Dark Visual Studio - I'm hooked

Monday, 7 July 2008 10:24 by Peter Provost

Dark Visual StudioI admit I was skeptical when Brad Wilson was talking to me about his Dark Visual Studio color scheme. Oddly enough, though, I've used a dark scheme in Vim for quite a while, so it should have felt more natural to me.

Lately I've been doing a lot more coding and decided to give it a shot. I'm now one week in and I'm hooked. I'm using Brad's settings (Consolas version) unmodified and are very nice on the eyes.

The screenshot on the right is of my current setup, as I typically run it, with all Tool Windows hidden but accessible via keystrokes.

In his post he mentions his "black-on-white with presentation tweaks" settings, but I don't think he's posted it. GIVE IT! Tongue out

I actually use a modified version of Jeff Atwood's light color scheme now for presenting. I do font tweaks (for presenting, Consolas 14 or DejaVu Sans Mono 14), no color tweaks seemed necessary for me.

What I'd really like is an addin to do on-the-fly switching between two or more color schemes. That would be sweet.
