how to customize Visual Studio 2022 theme - visual-studio

I installed Visual Studio 2022 and the purple line at the top is damaging my eyes
I know that I have to change it in font and color setting but there is more option, which one will change this color

Perhaps you want to try Visual Studio Color Theme Designer 2022
Or install VS2019 dark theme
And additionally report it to http://developercommunity.visualstudio.com as a problem, to make the default theme good.

How to install theme and syntax color scheme on Visual Studio 2019 (NOT VSCODE)?

I don't know how to install theme or syntax color scheme on Visual Studio 2019..
Can we at least do it or it is not possible?
Thanks!
You can select from multiple themes with the Color Themes for Visual Studio extension.

Material Theme for Visual Studio 2019

For the last years, I have used Solarized Dark and VS Color Theme Editor themes in Visual Studio 2017 and after trying Material Theme in Visual Studio Code, I wanted to use this wonderful theme in Visual Studio 2019 as well. However, there is no compatible version of Material Theme for VS2019 unfortunately. I am wondering if there is a possibility to transform this theme i.e. with the help of an export tool as Extension Manager mentioned on Use your favorite extensions with Visual Studio 2019. Or is there any theme available similar to Material Theme for Visual Studio 2019?
You can install the Color Themes for Visual Studio extension, from Microsoft DevLabs.
As of the date of this post, the extension includes a Material Dark theme, among others (refer to the GiHub Repository for more information).
NOTE: You can also customise an existing theme, using the Color Theme Editor, for VS 2017 and VS 2019.
Check out the colour themes from Dainty for Visual Studio.

You will need Node and Yarn installed to build the theme(s) you want. Not all the themes work perfectly with VS2019 but they do have a couple of Material Themes.

Change Visual Studio 2019 Theme time-controlled (Day/Night Mode for Theme)

During the day I find the bright standard theme of Visual Studio pleasant, while in the evening I often switch to the dark theme when the ambient light decreases.
In Visual Studio Code there are plugins to switch between themes time-controlled.
Is there anything equivalent in Visual Studio 2019?
There is an extension for Visual Studio 2019 called Auto Theme Switcher for Win10 Dark Mode (can be found in the extensions menu or #microsoft here).
Then you can configure your light and dark theme in the options.
Note: I'm not the author of this extension, just a user that was in the same situation and found that extension.
Set the color theme for the Visual Studio IDE
The default color theme for Visual Studio's user interface is called Blue. Let's change it to Dark.
On the menu bar, which is the row of menus such as File and Edit,
choose Tools > Options.
On the Environment > General options page, change the Color theme
selection to Dark, and then choose OK.
The color theme for the entire Visual Studio development environment (IDE) changes to Dark.

Blue Theme For Visual Studio 2012 Like 2010

I want to change my VS2012 theme to blue theme like in visual studio 2010.
I installed the Theme Editor, but after installing it I couldn't find any blue theme.
I know there are some threads in SO about that, but all of them are about Theme Editor, which doesn't work in my case.
Any ideas?
Did you search for "visual studio 2012 update 2" since the link doesn't exist like you said? I did, and I found update 3.
Blue theme update: The Blue theme is now part of Visual Studio 2012 Update 4, and is no longer included as part of the extension as of version 2.3. Please ensure VS Update 4 is installed if you want to update the extension while continuing to use the Blue theme.
If you don't want to install update 3, which is ~5GB (seriously??), you can instead install Theme Editor extension ver 2.2, which included the Blue theme. I don't know if MS provides the (2.2) download anymore, but I found it here;
http://mirror.nienbo.com/visualstudio-extensions/
This link contains some themes for Visual Studio. look at Visual Studio 2010 Blue Replica This theme restores Visual Studio 2012 and 2013 back to the colors used in the default theme of Visual Studio 2010
after downloading :Choose Tools -> Customize Colors -> import theme -> select vs2010.vstheme then enjoy
PS : These require the VS2012 or VS2013 color theme editor extension

Is there an Office 2010 Black theme for VS 2010?

I installed Office 2010 and switched it to the Black theme... I really like it but now my Visual Studio looks bad beside it.
Does anyone know of a good implementation of the Office 2010 Black Theme for Visual Studio 2010?
[I already have http://www.nerdpad.com/visual-studio/visual-studio-2010-dark-expression-blend-color-theme and it doesn't match Office at all (no, I know it wasn't supposed to)]
Suggestions?
Install Visual Studio Color Theme Editor, then go to Theme -> Customize Colors and create new scheme with dark colors. You may copy existing theme and recolor it
You may find this theme to your liking:
