as you may know Visual Studio doesn't offer the same degrees of freedom when it comes to Syntax Highlighting as Sublime Text 2 does (subject to opinion/bias, this is mine), however, Resharper does have some abilities when it comes to syntax highlighting to improve on Visual Studio's default highlighting.
So that being said, before I start making my own, does anyone have a Monokai - the default Sublime Text 2 theme - for Resharper?
I know I can use studiostyl.es - however those themes are for Visual Studio only, so the Monokai themes there are only roughly equivalent to the Monokai offered in ST2.
if anyone has the theme, could you paste it here?
Thanks. :)
You can check the theme I created a while ago.
It doesn't contains ReSharper colors yet, but they can be easily added from original dark theme included in the repository.
I edited theme files manually to support them quite easy to understand and make color changes.
test this link .... and enjoy it !
there is a lot of sublime text monokai schemes for visual studio but this one is a fresh and clean item.
you can select your VS version and click download to get suitable version of theme file.

Is there a document or a chart somewhere that translates the thousands (possibly tens of thousands -- who knows!) of controls in the new Visual Studio color theme catastrophe into something recognizable by people who aren't clinically insane?
I have no idea what a "ClassDesignerClassCompartmentKey" is... or a "ProjectDesignerTabSepTopGradientEndKey", or any of the other fifty million unnecessary and unwanted "controls" that have been inflicted on us by the Visual Studio Design Team are.
All I want to do is fix the UI disaster that is Visual Studio 2012, but I don't have a clue where to start. I guess I can download another one of the useless Color Theme addins from the Microsoft Extensions that don't work, but at this point I'm so irritated by the complete lack of functionality in the four (maybe more...) useless addins that I have installed and removed that I'm going to write an application that will take my system desktop colors and brute-force them onto all five hundred billion "theme controls" so that I can go back to using an IDE that doesn't make me want to stab myself in the eyes.
If you want to see exactly what is being changed you can use this online theme editor. Go to create a new theme or select an existing one, click on the item that you want to change, it will give you the name that VS uses which you can adjust in the Visual Studio. You can create a theme or import the one that offends you and make alterations and export it out to be used.
If you're referring to ways to change the color theme of Visual Studio 2012, Scott Hanselman wrote a good article, Your Colorful Visual Studio 2012 with the Color Theme Editor (VS2010 colors, too). Probably of greatest interest he refers to Matthew Johnson's Visual Studio 2012 Color Theme Editor (a.k.a Visual Studio 2012 Color Theme Editor) which makes it simple to apply prebuilt themes. He also includes the following registry modification to turn off the all-caps feature.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\11.0\General\SuppressUppercaseConversion REG_DWORD value: 1
Visual Studio Color Theme Editor is an excellent extension for Visual Studio 2010 that can be used to try and apply different themes on the IDE. The theme only changes the chrome or the windowing area of the IDE.
To change the display of code one still has to play around with the settings in the Fonts and Colors dialog or import settings from a .vssettings file. (A variety of styles are available at StudioStyles).
All editors now allow the programmer to try or switch between different styles on the code with a click (like the gorgeous Sublime Text). Is there a Visual Studio extension or external tool that makes it easy to apply and play around with different styles? If not, is there some trick to try or switch between different styles with ease? I find that going through the Import Settings dialog is quite onerous.
Visual Studio 2012 Color Theme Editor extension now allows (from v2.3) to change Font colors using styles (include your own styles). Exactly what do you need.
Version history
2.3 Added support for merging Fonts & Colors customizations with a theme
Update to Visual Studio 2012 and you be able to use either Light or Dark theme. What's is really cool.
Other good suggestion is to check http://studiostyl.es/ - This website provide many variations of color and fonts to use with your Visual Studio (but by now that compatibility is just with vs2005, vs2008 and vs2010)
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/
It is really so relaxing to use dark or blue background for editor so i interested in Visual Studio color themes.
I found alot of them which was looking nice at first sight but i realized all of them has ugly problems when i use them. Color settings wasn't tuned well in all scenario so there were a lot of time that i can not read my codes.
I love Ruby theme so is there any well designed settings for ruby theme or any theme ?
All the Visual Studio themes you can shake a stick at.
I love the wombat color scheme in Vim and so I looked around and found this: My attempt at converting the VIM Wombat theme to support Visual Studio
Works fine for me in VS2008.
There's a lot of new things going on in the Productivity Power Tools extensions, and I find that many of the new features come with very weird color combinations, that many times make the text completely illegible. I assume this is because I've previously set a dark theme for Visual Studio, and some, but not all, of the settings that affect the extension have been changed.
Are there any good dark themes out there that have been put together after the Productivity Tools Extension was published, that create a unified color theme for both VS and the extension features?
Clarification: This question is not about color schemes for code, such as those found at studiostyles. I'm talking about color schemes that apply to the development environment itself; toolboxes, menus, tooltips, windows, buttons...
Install the Visual Studio Color Theme Editor extension:
Make your own color scheme or try: The Dark Expression Blend Color Theme (preview below)
Once you have that, you'll want schemes for the text editor as well. This site has several, including the VS2012 "dark" theme implemented for VS2010.
There is a style that I've created based on dark style from VS 2015 to use on my VS 2010. You can download this style from Dark Style from VS 2015.
After download it, just import through menu Tools -> Import and Export Settings...
So, I tested above themes and found out none of them are showing proper color combination when using Productivity Power Tools in Visual Studio.
Ultimately, being a fan of dark themes, I created one myself which is fully supported from VS2005 to VS2013.
Here's the screenshot
Download this dark theme from here: Obsidian Meets Visual Studio
To use this theme go to Tools -> Import and Export Setting... -> import selected environment settings -> (optional to save current settings) -> Browse select and then Finish.
Not sure if any of these help, but this might get you started: http://studiostyles.info
I know that the site owner has been gradually adding functionality to allow support for new color assignments, so perhaps there's something there.
You can also try this handy online tool, which generates .vssettings file for you.
