I use Inconsolata for VS2008, I want to use it for VS2010 as well, but VS2010 is not supporting open type fonts, so I converted Inconsolata from open type to true type. Now, I'm able to use the font in 2010 but it looks like a crappy version. Any thoughts on how I can use open type fonts in 2010 without converting to true type?
Thanks
Here´s a blog post to use Inconsolata in Visual Studio 2010, but there seems to be a problem how the converted Inconsolata is displayed.

I found this question that is about enabling ligatures in Visual Studio, which appears to be automatic.
However, I don't like ligatures, so I was wondering if it is possible to disable them. I can't find anything in VS2017 or VS2019.
I also want to disable font ligatures in VS2017 today, then I found this link in MSDN community site. They say:
Currently, Visual Studio doesn’t have the ability to disable font ligatures in the editor, so the only option you currently have available is to chose a font that doesn’t provide ligatures.
I think they are foolish about this.
I ran into that issue in VS2022 aswell when tried to install Jetbrains Mono font. But it occured that jetbrains provides same font without ligatures, it's name is followed by 'NL'
Some time ago Microsoft created "Cascadia Mono" font, which is the same font as default in Visual Studio, but without ligatures.
You can download "Cascadia Mono" font from here:
https://github.com/microsoft/cascadia-code/releases
Install this font on your machine, restart Visual Studio, select "Cascadia Mono" font, and you will achieve the same result as "disabling" ligatures in VS.
I have a question. I need to use VS 2017 in my work but i love VS 2019 code colouring. It is so much easier to read. My question is did someone seen some code colours themes like VS2019/VS CODE (JavaScript) themes?
Or there is easy solution, for example import code colours from VS2019 to VS2017?
Thanks for help
You can personalize your VS2017 with the "Color Theme Editor" extension available on the Visual Studio Market Place for free.

EDIT :
For Syntax Highlighting you can choose in the gallery here :

Use color coder https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Xellarix.ColorCoder
extension
also, you can customize the color for different types
I use VS2019 as my personal IDE but for my company labtop I still use 2017 because they provide professional license.
I want to have the same text color theme on my both IDE for consistency and I found this extension.
https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=StanislavKuzmichArtStea1th.EnhancedSyntaxHighlighting
This theme is pretty similar to the theme when you enable "use enhanced colors for c# and basic" in VS2019.
My understanding is that this is a new feature in the C# and VB language editors - in other words, these are new features/settings in VS2019 that simply don't exist in VS2017.
Every time I type an emmet string and press tab visual studio replaces it with just the main element. Then i realized it was preferning the the snippet that it was auto suggesting. Is there a way around this or fix it? I am using Visual Studio 2013 Community edition on windows 7 64bit if that makes any difference
I found the problem, I was using another plugin called Viasafora that colors braces and makes it easier to to see your indentations it had a default option for showing completions ans you type. I had to go turn it off.
I am trying to add this font http://levien.com/type/myfonts/inconsolata.html to my visual studio. i have downloaded it and added it to the Windows/fonts directory. restarted the computer and yet i still cant find it on the fonts and colors settings.
Any solution ?
GDI+ doesn't play nicely with OpenType fonts, you will need to find a TTF version, how about this one: http://code.google.com/p/googlefontdirectory/source/browse/inconsolata/?r=fffda675769720a297f4d239e7065f751bbe655f
My website has several nested folders and sometimes long file names, so sometimes only 4 tabs can be opened at a time.
Can vs2010 be made to show only file names and leave out any path information?
Can the max displayed length for tabs be set?
I know the window can be split so top and bottom both have their own tabs.
For example (using the "Visual Studio 2010 Pro Power Tools"):
Showing the files:
...r.aspx.cs
...s.aspx.cs
...s.aspx.cs
...s.aspx.cs
...s.aspx.cs
For example (not using the Visual Studio 2010 Pro Power Tools):
Showing the files:
Adminstration/...quests.aspx.cs
Adminstration/...tUsers.aspx.cs
Adminstration/...ctions.aspx.cs
Adminstration/...eBanks.aspx.cs
Try installing the "Visual Studio 2010 Pro Power Tools" extension from the Extension Manager in VS. It adds a new section to the standard option dialogue that allows you to customise what they call the "Document Tab Well."
It doesn't let you truncate the filename, but you can change the way they draw and scroll, which might be enough to help.
It does allow more tabs at a time, but it severly shortens the amount of file name you see. So while it allows editing more files, you won't know what file you are editing.
For now I'm using the trial version of Tab Studio
In VS2010, go to Tools - Extension Manager. Go to the online gallery and search for this extension:
Visual Studio 2010 Pro Power Tools
This extension, once installed, gives you extensive control over the document well, including setting a max tab width and much more. I love this extension, and have had zero issues customizing tab behavior to suit my preferences. Hope this helps.
Fixed in Visual Studio 2012
This has finally been fixed in Visual Studio 2012:
So i see:
PendingRequests.aspx (rather than ...r.aspx.cs)
ImportUsers.aspx.cs (rather than ...s.aspx.cs)
SearchTransactions.aspx.cs (rather than ...ctions.aspx.cs)
ImportTimeBanks.aspx.cs (rather than eBanks.aspx.cs)
Now if we could just get the entire Visual Studio ecosystem to:
return to the use of Left, Right arrows to navigate overflow tabs
open new tabs on the right
just like Windows has been doing in 1994, and Visual Studio would start to almost become a user-friendly Windows application.
I have been using this excellent extension for VS2010 that solve your problems: Visual Studio 2010 Pro Power Tools.
It is a bundle of several extensions, but the most notable for you is the Document Well 2010 Plus. It allows you to configure the document tabs: to be the constant width, colour-coded by project, pinned, etc...
You can toggle the extensions that you do not want by editing the manifest file in:
~\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\Extensions\Microsoft\Visual Studio 2010 Pro Power Tools\
#IanBoyd: I agree, it doesn't solve the problem 100% however it helps (which is why most of the answers to this question suggest it). With the Visual Studio 2010 Pro Power Tools add-on you can a) set the maximum tab width using one tab options, b) setup some colour categorizing rules to help differentiate between projects/file types.
In VS2010, my workflow relies upon several add-ons and keyboard shortcuts to manage my workspace; for example I use CTRL + Tab to switch between active documents, use the pin-tab feature and colour coding from Power Pro Tools, the open solution file dialog from Visual Assist X, and re-open last edited file from Resharper.
This has been answered already here:

Install the productivity power tools extension and it should do it by default!
