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.

VS2022 comes with a new higher-contrast dark theme.
If I prefer the old dark theme (from VS2019), how can I use it in VS2022?
The dark theme from VS2019 is available as an extension on the Visual Studio marketplace here:
https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=MadsKristensen.DarkTheme2019
Once installed you can select it from here:
As part of the standard install Visual Studio Code comes with a color theme named "Monokai Dimmed".
Is there as way to port this to Visual Studio 2015? I've checked the community themes (http://studiostyl.es/schemes) and i can't find it listed there.
Thanks in advance
Themes are build very differently in Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code, so it will need to be manually converted. I'm not aware of an existing converter but Visual Studio Code uses the TextMate .tmTheme (.plist) format for themes.

Is there Sublime theme for Visual Studio 2015?
For example for Visual Studio 2015 Color Theme Editor .
Themes from Studio Styles not correct working with Visual Studio 2015.
The default color scheme of Sublime Text is Monokai by Wimer Hazenberg and I bet there are several attempts of porting it to Visual Studio. I'm not sure whether there's a full theme, since Sublime Text has very little of a UI that could be ported.
Here are several that I found online:
You can build Monokai (and other) color schemes for Visual Studio using base16-builder
There's a Monokai port for download at Studio Styles
…and several others available on GitHub
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;

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 anyway to change VS2012 theme look like VS2010?
If you install the theme editor, you get a huge improvement. The Blue theme is like VS 2010.

In addition to the theme editor Andy mentioned, there is also a project in Codeplex that allows you to import VS 2010 icons into VS 2012
