I have researched a long time for a way to change the background of Visual Studio to a image, just like a wallpaper of desktop.
Is there a add-in, extension or a little trick can do this?

VSEditorBackgroundChangerExtension : A Visual Studio 2012 IDE extension which allows for easily adding a background image or watermark to liven up your text editors.

I'm having this issue with visual studio 2022 where the borders of the software are white when it's meant to be fully dark. The coloring of the text is normal however. And also, the option buttons like file, edit dropdown. Currently the only temporary fix is to restart my computer but it only works for one launch, after that launch it doesn't work again so it's an extreme hassle. Any help will be appreciated!
I am "attempting" to use the image editor in Visual Studio 2013 to fix a gif file. The "documentation" references an image menu which is missing. I am also attempting to set the foreground and background colors.
Does anyone have any advice on how to do this?
The image editor has been replaced in VS2013, it no longer uses a dedicated menu. So whatever documentation you are using is surely outdated. The VS2013 specific documentation is here.
Pick, say, the Pen tool from the toolbar. The Properties window lets you set the fore- and background colors.
I don't know why but Microsoft decided to make the title bars of the windows of Visual Studio 2013 and Office applications huge! They are so thicker than normal windows and this is really annoying especially if you have a small screen.
Do you think there is a way to change this?
There is an extension for Visual Commander to hide Visual Studio 2013 title bar. In the HideTitleBar function instead of setting visibility to collapsed you can try to change height.
I don't think you can change the size of the title bar. The best you can do is to auto-hide it, that way you see the ribbon only when you need it.
There is an extension of Visual Studio https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/4bb76b8a-cef1-4223-8f9c-8e815e50e56c for download.
It can change the title bar smaller instead of hiding it. Because if you hide it, you loose the control to move the window around or minimize it.
I have been looking for , lets use the word "mods", for visual studio left and right to be able to change the background and font color of the code editor for quite a while now. This is a simple question and hopefully not a duplicate of Is it possible to change backround color of editor and autocomplete tooltips in Visual Studio?. If I can refine my question a bit more, is it possible to manually change the background color of the code and text editor, or does mods or plugins or addons exist somewhere to do this feature for me? My eyes are straining on the white background...
I am using visual studio 2010
From the main menu, go to Tools -> Options. From there open up Environment -> Fonts and Colors. If you don't want to spent the time configuring it that way (which would be completely understandable), download the theme editor, or pick and download a nice theme at http://studiostyl.es/
I would really like to be able to put an image background on the editor window in vs2010, not just a color. Does anyone know if this is possible?
This is all I've been able to find. It requires CodeRush, and I can't tell whether it has been updated to work with VS2010.
