I installed a version of Visual Studio 2010, but it has no Theme menu. I installed it on some other machines but none of them has the Theme menu.
I can only use the default theme. How can I add the Themes menu to my copy of Visual Studio?
The "Theme" menu is not part of Visual Studio 2010, so it won't be there with a standard installation.
It is provided by an extension called the "Visual Studio Color Theme Editor", which you must install on your computer first before you can change themes.
You can download it here from Microsoft's Visual Studio Gallery website.

As part of the standard install Visual Studio Code comes with a color theme named "Monokai Dimmed".
Is there as way to port this to Visual Studio 2015? I've checked the community themes (http://studiostyl.es/schemes) and i can't find it listed there.
Thanks in advance
Themes are build very differently in Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code, so it will need to be manually converted. I'm not aware of an existing converter but Visual Studio Code uses the TextMate .tmTheme (.plist) format for themes.

Is there Sublime theme for Visual Studio 2015?
For example for Visual Studio 2015 Color Theme Editor .
Themes from Studio Styles not correct working with Visual Studio 2015.
The default color scheme of Sublime Text is Monokai by Wimer Hazenberg and I bet there are several attempts of porting it to Visual Studio. I'm not sure whether there's a full theme, since Sublime Text has very little of a UI that could be ported.
Here are several that I found online:
You can build Monokai (and other) color schemes for Visual Studio using base16-builder
There's a Monokai port for download at Studio Styles
…and several others available on GitHub
I have Visual studio 2008 and Visual studio 2012 installed on my computer, and I want to install DevExpress DXperience 12.1.4 but only with Visual studio 2008.
Is there any way to do it ?
No way. Installer will install the DXperience under all VS instances found.
I want to install DevExpress DXperience 12.1.4 but only with Visual studio 2008.
No, Installer will install the DXperience controls in all version of Visual studio.
But you can remove all the controls from one by resetting the development environment setting from Visual Studio 2012.
On the Tools menu, click Import and Export Settings.
On the Welcome to the Import and Export Settings Wizard page, click
Reset all settings and then click Next.
Now controls shown in the tool bar disappear from Visual Studio 2012. If you want to use them then use the toolBax creator of devexpress to get them back in all visual studio instances.

Hope this is what you require.
Is there anyway to change VS2012 theme look like VS2010?
If you install the theme editor, you get a huge improvement. The Blue theme is like VS 2010.

In addition to the theme editor Andy mentioned, there is also a project in Codeplex that allows you to import VS 2010 icons into VS 2012

Is any one knows how can i change the default (light blue) skin
of visual studio 2010 ???
Thanks,
Liran
The easiest way to change the Visual Studio 2010 skin is to download the Visual Studio Color Theme Editor extension.
You can download the extension from the online gallery (click the link) or you can do it from inside Visual Studio (go to Tools --> Extension Manager --> Online Gallery --> Search for Visual Studio Color Theme Editor).
After you install the extension and restart Visual Studio, you should be able to change the skin.
You can download Visual Studio Color Theme Editor from the Extension Manager. (Tools -> Extension Manager)
