I am using the "Colorful Darkness" theme and I love it!
http://studiostyl.es/schemes/colorful-darkness
The only thing is that it has bad html and razor support. How can I take out the html and razor color/font settings from the below theme and merge it into the "Colorful Darkness" theme to create an all new theme?

You will have to open both setting files in a text editor and do a copy and paste manually. I don't know any other way

I am using KendoUI web widgets in my enterprise app. I need to create/customize a Theme as our corporate branding. After reading the docs, I realized that there is a tool called ThemeBuilder for this purpose available here http://demos.kendoui.com/themebuilder/web.html
Now I need to understand the logic behind the color options this tool (ThemeBuilder) shows me. All the Themes are based on 4 primary colors as shown in the selection options. However, when i try to modify/customize any theme, I found that there are more to it? How the ThemeBuilder is calculating all other colors besides the 4 Theme colors?
If I need to create my own corporate theme with 4 primary colors, how do I pick rest of the colors as shown in ThemeBuilder?
On the second note, ThemeBuilder can generate css and less. Is there a way to generate Scss as we are using scss in our organization?
Does Telerik provide scss version of their source styles. I know they provide css and less in their source directory. But converting them to scss looks like a nightmare to me!
Appreciate your help.

I have to manually convert less into scss.
I have variablized their stuff make it compatible with org's themes and colors.
I'm using Telerik grids, and want to customize the CSS. I've used Telerik's stylebuilder but I don't know what to do with it once I download the zip. Telerik says that I should
Simply add the files from this archive to your project, and your custom skin is ready go.
But I have no idea where in the project to add them, or even how exactly this is done. I moved the CSS files into the stylesheets folder (I'm using MS Visual Studio 2010) and linked to them, but no dice.
I've also read through this this and this but am still thoroughly confused.
Try the following:
Export theme from style builder, example classic.zip.
Contents of classic.zip
Folder: classic
File: telerik.classic.css
Extract zip to your project's content folder, c:\path to your project\Content\
Modify your master page style sheet regsitrar to include telerik.classic.css instead of the supplied style sheets.
:
<%= Html.Telerik().StyleSheetRegistrar()
.DefaultGroup(group => group.Add("telerik.common.css")
.Add("telerik.classic.css"))
%>
I have both dreamweaver CS5.5 and Visual Studio Ultimate 2010. Both programs I love, but I really want a way to complete all of my front end coding in Dreamweaver, and then work with the database in VS.Net.
I have been completing this by making all of the pages in VS.Net, and then clicking 'open with' Dreamweaver afterwards. Although each time I open the .master file with Dreamweaver it collapses into blank coding, propbably because it doesn't recognise it. I have researched this before,and tried to solve the problem by adding content to the documentType folder but nothing has happened. I really need some support in Dreamweaver because I am alsways changing the design of my pages, and each page uses a materpage file.
The other problem is the masterpage uses .swf files and javascript alot, which is a pain to use in VS.Net, as the code hinting doesn't work properly.
Does anyone have a solution to this problem?
I havent tested it yet, but take a look at this: http://alexle.net/archives/119
Go to **[Your_Drive_Here]:\Program Files\Macromedia\Dreamweaver MX 2004\Configuration**
Open the file Extensions.txt and add your custom extensions to the list.
...
Go to the DocumentTypes folder (still in the same path), edit the file MMDocumentTypes.xml\ (fullpath: [Your_Drive_Here]:\Program Files\Macromedia\Dreamweaver MX 2004\Configuration**DocumentTypes\MMDocumentTypes.xml**) with a Text Editor (i.e. Notepad or Notepad++). It’s not advisible to edit this particular xml file with Dreamweaver as the software may go crazy as it’s being used to edit itself.
Go to l*ine 67*, add the THTML extesion to the winfileextension and macfileextensionlist attributes. Here is the code exerpt
This instructions are for Dreamweaver MX 2004, but may work changing Macromedia\Dreamweaver MX 2004 for Adobe\Adobe Dreamweaver CS5.5 (I don't have CS5.5, but assuming this had not changed until CS4 (my version), it will be there.
In reference to these related questions, I have had CSS3 validation set up in VS2010 for a while.
However each time I close a CSS file, the "cascading style sheet version for validation" dropdown in the css toolstrip changes back from CSS 3.0 to CSS 2.1. When reopening a css file, I need to reselect CSS 3.0 to avoid the validation errors.
Is there any way to change the default? Even a registry hack would be acceptable at this point, it really is quite annoying.
There is another benefit of changing the default for this, when editing a cshtml file. Without a CSS file open, the validation target dropdown is grayed out. So to change it to 3.0 you have to have a CSS file open. Another annoyance.
I checked Tools > Options > Text Editor > CSS, but there is no validation tab like there is for HTML.
Option 2 is to go into C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\Packages\1033\schemas\CSS and rename css30.xml to css21.xml (backup your files first of course).
That way, even though VS will show it is validating for version 2.1 it will really be validating for version 3.0
I have custom settings in Visual Studio that include a dark background. Copy/pasting to Outlook produces a crime against eyeballs with a dark background in code on a white background of the mail.
Does anyone have any ideas of how I can paste code in standard VS formatting (NOT unformatted text from paste special, and not paste with my custom VS formatting)?
(Alternatively, does anyone know a quick way to switch between themes in VS? Thinking that could also work...)
The following blog post details how to address this issue in VS2012:

Ok so the closest I got was using CopySourceAsHtml which also allows you to define custom css styles for that copied html. I peeked at the css styles when copying code from the default VS theme and copied them over.
Got me 90% there which is good enough - no black code backgrounds on white email backgrounds!
This free VS Extension (named "Copy As HTML") allows you to choose the background color when copying to clipboard:
This is a lightweight tool that allows you to copy code from the Code
Window and convert it into HTML while preserving syntax highlighting,
indentation and background colour.
This add-in adds a command to copy in plain text: VSHelper
