Is there a way to change the theme for Visual Studio 2015 without changing it for other people that are using the same account?
At my work we all use the same account and every time I change my theme to dark it also changes it for someone else in the office (although there are only three of us and the other guy is not effected somehow).
Try to uncheck the Environment - Synchronized settings - Synchronize settings across devices when signed into Visual Studio option. See Synchronized Settings in Visual Studio for more details.

My team currently makes full use of Visual Studio Online team rooms to see when code is pushed to the server as well as track the chatter around it. I find having chatter in this environment keeps it on a more professional level.
In Visual Studio 2013 we were using a plugin to have this team rooms display directly within the Visual Studio application. Unfortunately this is no longer working with Visual Studio 2015 and I was wondering if there's a method for doing this out of the box that potentially I'm missing?
No, The us no way to get rid of of the box. You may want to email The Developers of the Plug-In that you were using and get them to update it.
I am getting annoyed by having to change Resolve to Associate in Team Explorer
Is there a way to set it to Associate by default?
For visual studio 2013 this fixes the issue
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\12.0\TeamFoundation\SourceControl\Behavior]
"ResolveAsDefaultCheckinAction"="False"
And now available in the settings UI in Visual Studio 2015: https://visualstudio.uservoice.com/forums/330519-team-services/suggestions/3418758-in-the-team-explorer-change-default-state-value-o
Visual Studio 2019
I came here seeking an answer for VS 2019, as apparently the registry 'hack' no longer works.
There is now an setting in Tools -> Options for this, under Source Control -> Visual Studio Team Foundation Server called Resolve associated work items on check-in.
Un-check it to associate by default. Check to resolve by default.
I have visual studio 2013 - professional and it keeps changing my theme from blue to dark.
Anyone have an idea why this is?
Yes, I was logged in with a corporate account that is shared between a couple computers.
It sounds like Synchronized Settings are enabled in your Visual Studio, therefore it is trying to sync theme and other settings across different machines.
Solution: In VS13, go to Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Synchronized Settings and then uncheck the "Enabled synchronization" box.
I was having license errors with the latest Marmalade (6.4) and I reran s3eConfig to fix them. I set it to use Visual Studio 2010 and it re-setup marmalade and the license errors went away. However it is not respecting my Visual Studio selection and always opens Visual Studio 2012.
So, my question is where does marmalade hide these config values that you set when running s3eConfig? It looks like I will have to change it manually.
Marmalade saves these values in AppData. But instead of modifying these values, you can just right click on the mkb and open them in your desired IDE disregarding the default ones.
I guess the Visual Studio 2012 is the phone version(wp8). Marmalade has a bug regarding this, don't remember the MAINT number/bug issue tracking number.
I have used one license key and want to switch my configuration to use another key.
I tried to launched the uninstall wizard from "Add/Remove Programs" in the Windows Control Panel. When I reinstalled, the license still work.
How can I modify my Visual Studio 2010 installation to use another key, and possibly without uninstalling and reinstalling?
Sorry for not clarifying it at the beginning. Actually, a valid key is not available to me for now. Is there a way to remove the original license completely and use VS as a trial version for days.
Change the serial number after Visual Studio 2010 installation
Go to Control Panel -> Programs and Features, locate and highlight Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate/Premium/Professional installation, and click on Uninstall/Change button.
Upgrade Visual Studio 2010 Product Key for Activation
A Visual Studio setup maintenance screen should be shown. After clicking Next button, an option to enter a valid serial number to upgrade product license is available.
Enter the upgrade key accordingly, and click on Activate button. No re-installation required.
There is a way to edit the product key in a file called Setup.SDB. It should be located in
\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Professional - ENU\Setup.SDB
Edit this file in a notepad and search for Product key. You can then update the product key.
I actually repaired the installation after this change just to make sure everything was working. This was tested on VS2008 and VS2010
