It also allows creating new themes, editing colors, etc. It adds a couple color themes such as Red, Green, Blue, Purple, Tan, Dark with Light editor, Light with Dark editor.

However, while I absolutely like the Dark theme, and I could use the Light theme without problems, sometimes I’d prefer a bit more color.įor Visual Studio 2012 Professional/Premium/Ultimate there is a free Visual Studio 2012 Color Theme Editor extension that Matt Johnson wrote. Personally I think that’s an exaggeration. Many users have complained the Light theme is too gray, depressing and ugly, some went as far as to claim they’d commit suicide if they’d be forced to look a whole day to this UI. like those colors don't go with a classic dark themes coloring.Visual Studio 2012 ships out of the box with 2 color themes, Light and Dark. they just added those in 2019 and it just made me want to puke abit. specifically the pastel pinks/yellows etc. now my vscode theme, well that is something elseĪnd I'd much rather use vscode but the stupid thing doesn't really support c#/compiler symbols, and the debugging in vscode is naff.and oh vscode has a S***ty tabbar aswel :/ yeah guess I'll be using vs2019 for a while still.

I do like prefer my strings in purple, and comments/summary's grade out probably the only real color changes i made to default 2017 vs theme. those would normally be in blue in vs2017 and I'm just so used to it that way. but is no way in hell I'm going to stare a freaking pink if/else/return/break etc. I'd probably change it but just got used to it now.

I left the enum/numerical values at the greeny/yellow color it it used to be in 2017, I tolerate it just barely. like those colors don't go with a classic dark themes coloring. I still make some changes to things from that, but would have taken ages going through all changed colors in 2017 to fix things.Īs you are right, the VS2019 editor language coloring sucks, also I'm really wishing for some standardized theming editor, one where themes from all different ide's can be customized so I can get exact coloring in all of them.Ĭlick to expand.yeah those colors are awful to me. compared to all the crapy pastel colors added in 2019 i prefer the old one, they should have called it classic and kept it. I like just have blue for built in functions, and white for most things methods etc types in a different color, with just things like strings, values etc in other colors.

I prefere VS2017 somewhat simple coloring on things, having a different color for everything little thing just looks stupid.

ended up having to use vs2017 to install the theme editor plugin, export my theme out, install the theme editor plugin on 2019, import my only slight modified 2017 dark theme, and then replace all the missing colors with equivalent alternatives. Just last week I had start using VS2019 and some retard looks to have been allowed to turn VS2019 dark theme into some sort of washed out candy color palette of crap. almost thought it was thread I had started but forgotten for a second I thought someone had stolen my account to write this thread.
