Visual Studio Moria Alternate

This is yet another dark color scheme for Visual Studio 2005. This one is based (loosely) on the excellent Moria color scheme created by Georg Dahn that I use for Vim.

There are obviously a lot of differences, as Vim's syntax highlighting is a bit more flexible (and a bit more limited in other manners) than Visual Studio's, but it's not bad overall and I've been pretty happy with it. some difference, though, are intentional, like a slightly darker background color or line numbers.

Here's a screenshot of looking at XML in VS:

Here's a screenshot of looking at code:

The scheme as is is saved using Deja Vu Sans Mono as the font; feel free to replace it with your favourite programming font. Get the settings file here.

Update: Download the Visual Studio 2008 version here.

I still want a green background and bold (all caps) white text so I can feel like I’m still writing COBOL! (Just kidding)

Does such a beast exist for VS 2003?

@Serdar: I haven’t explicitly created one. VS2003 is a lot more cumbersome for this!
