I'm developing a Visual Studio extension that extended menus, and I've added some .xaml vector icon to the menu commands.
But Visual Studio has several theme, the prime example are Light and Dark. I can't make an icon that fit both themes at same time.
I found some extensions that can adapt the icon color to different themes. Such as Resharper.
So how can I do that?
I got it!
Visual Studio will auto reverse the color if it's gray.
I just need to make a design that adapt the light 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.
Does Visual Studio 2013 have a built-in way to set an overall theme with dark text on a light background?
It is the very first thing shown by selecting the Tools, Options menu item. Select the Light theme and you get dark text on a light background.
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:

Webmatrix has a clean color scheme. Is there a similar one for Visual Studio?
Webmatrix color scheme for visual studio.
The Windows Aero theme for VS2010 is the closest I was able to get using the themes that are built into the Theme plug-in. Of course you could start there and customize further to get even closer.
For anyone looking for the theme editor, it can be found at: Visual Studio Color Theme Editor
I really like Visual studio. I think it is awesome IDE ever been made for developers. But color scheme in new VS2010 is really ugly, so the first thing i'd like to do after install is to change its color palette. I googled how to do this and found VS extension by Matthew Johnson [MSFT].
If you know another way to change color palette in VS2010, please let me know.
You can use the Visual Studio Color Theme Editor to make changes directly within Visual Studio, which will allow you to change the theme/color of the actual Visual Studio shell itself.
To change the theme/color of the editor, you can browse themes (created by others) at Studio Styles, which also allows you to create a theme online and then import it into Visual Studio.
You can create, import and export VS themes in your browser! http://studiostyles.info/
I suppose It should work and for VS 2010
Let me know if it works...
