Looks great!

I’ll stick with the green on comments.

Is there any theme for VB?

[...] Metroline: A VS2010 Color Scheme – Thomas Restrepo shares a dark colour scheme for Visual Studio 2010, his first created specifically for use in Visual Studio 2010 [...]

I would appreciate if you could find, in your spare time, the possibility to port the Ragnarok Grey theme. It’s, hands down, my favorite

@Rodrigo: It should import, I think; though I’d expect a few things to be missing.

@imperialx: Sorry, have never installed VB on any of my VS2010 installations

I understand, but will there be in the future? I hope so…:)

I’ve downloaded and use your theme…keep it up!

i’m using it for 50seconds and i’m already loving it. A good indicator that the theme is good.
Briliant idea with bold string literals. Very important since they usualy aren’t backed by compiler so you can spot them immediately ( before they mean to be meen ).

Thanks, as much as it’s worth out of the crowd.

Does it contain Resharper 5.0 colors?

@Zuhaib: No, at this point I have not specifically tweaked the scheme for R# support.

Could you tell me how can I change this? The tabs in the XAML window have a different background color.

Sorry for posting the comment before reading the previous post. I got it .. thanks

How are your access modifiers styled differently from other keywords? That’s awesome!

Man, that plus style differences for type/method definitions vs. type/method usages would make my day. Hell, that’d make my month.

@Sam: I wrote a VS2010 extension for that. See http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/862fbd13-4a20-44db-b94c-5854e2672b0d

Holy crap that extension rocks! Thank you so much for writing it! The custom coloring for control flow and access modifier keywords really helps visualize class design *while looking at the implementation class itself* (rather than opening up its interface, if it has one, or using a diagramming tool). It should really have been included in default visual studio syntax coloring customizations, IMO.

Of course the custom colored LINQ operators are nice too

Also, thank you so much for sharing the code! It will give me a great place to start for working on an add-in to separate type/method definition colors from type/method invocation colors.

I’m gonna give this one a try. I’ve been using Ragnarok Blue for years now, any chance you might update some of your old VS2008 themes to VS2010? Thanks!

Does this go here?
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\VWDExpress\Profiles

@Eric: No, you can use the Import/Export settings option in the Tools menu to import the color scheme.

You should share this to http://studiostyles.info

So much thanks for your eye candy vs color themes.btw,moria alternate is awesome for vs2008.

Hm, you seem to have changed the font size of the tooltip window. This is unfortunate, because it is actually more readable if it has the same size as the underlying text, as you can simply “continue effortlessly” with reading. By making the font bigger, I have to refocus my eyes somewhat. Can you change that back or email me with what I have to change in the vvssettings file?

What is also important: the vertical selection feature in Visual Studio 2010 is pretty cool, but barely visible with your vssettings
Can you make it white or something? (currently purple’ish, which is pretty much invisible)

@Mahlzeit: I happen to like it that way; and that purple’ish color actually works fairly well for me if the screen has good contrast (it will probably cause issues if you’ve got an older screen with little contrast).

You can of course change any of that from the Fonts & Options dialog in VS.

Okay, thanks. Do you recall how the option is called, that makes the whole region background white when hovering over it with the mouse on the left side? (here are these lines that indicate where regions are. If you hover over them with the mouse, the whole document is suddenly white, which is quite an eye shocker)

@Mahlzeit: That would be “Collapsible Region”, I believe.

Thanks, do you know why Collapsed Text: Background color is greyed out? I’d like to change that too, the white doesnt fit the otherwise soothing dark colors in my view.
