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 installed DarkTheme2019. When I switch to it, it changes my VS2019 theme to "Blue". In VS2019, I switch back to "Dark" and then in VS2022 it goes from "Dark(2019)" to "Dark".
VS2022 at least kept the font change from "Dark(2019).
Is there a way to have the two Visual Studio's not be affected by what the other does?
It's a known issue: https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/t/visual-studio-2022-setting-the-theme-in-2022-chang/1466144
It's not fixed yet (in Visual Studio 2022 version 17.1.0) regardless of what that page says.
There now (Sept 2022) appears to be a fix for this.
In the current VS 2022 (Version 17.3.4), go to Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Accounts and deselect the option to "Synchronize Visual Studio settings across devices and installs on this machine..."
Unchecking this option enabled me to have a theme for VS2022 different from the theme for VS2019.
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.
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 am using Window 7. I have removed the shadows from my windows, but Visual Studio 2012 seems to ignore that setting and draws a shadow (or glow) anyway. Is there a way to remove that shadow/glow?
From here:
In some situations, you can improve your Visual Studio performance by changing your Visual Experience. To change these settings just go to Tools -> Options -> Environment -> General -> Visual Experience:
Untick "Enable rich client visual experience" and the shadows should go away.
I'm trying to figure out where the Visual Studio Productivity Power Tools settings are stored. I recently moved to a new instance of visual studio and I've lost all of my Power Tools regex tab coloring settings. They are clearly not part of the normal VS2010 settings file, as I exported and imported this already. Any help would be great!
It's just stored in the registry under
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0
It seems the regexes are under
...\DialogPage\Microsoft.DocWellBehavior.Options.ColorCodingOptions
