Is it possible somehow to chenge background on solution navigator/solution explorer in visual studio 2010 ?
I did change default environment scheme and now i would like to have the same background in solution navigator/solution explorer is it possible?
No. This is BUG. See Solution Explorer background.
Just created VS extension for that in under an hour, search extension manager for "SExColor". Enjoy ;)

Is there any way to replace VS2015 solution explorer's icons with VS2010 ones? :(

Is it possible to change icons in Visual Studio 2012?

You can change the Shortcut icon: https://visualstudioextensions.vlasovstudio.com/2015/12/02/on-changing-visual-studio-2015-icon/
If you want to customize the icon in Solution Explorer, you need to write a VS Extension.
In VS2010 I could always drag files to the solution explorer. This no longer works in Visual Studio 2012. How can I enable this?
It is a Windows 'feature' as I read in this answer:
Windows will not let you drag from one window to another if only one
of those windows is running as Administrator.
Are you running Visual Studio as Administrator?
When I open the VS2010 I cannot open any menu options.
try to open Visual Studio in Compabilty Mode.
i didn't experience any issue with it so far.
what are the reason behind using visual studio 2010 on windows 8 RP?
visual studio 2012 should be sufficient except that is might still have some bug.
Curiously the VS2010 is working accordingly in Windows 8. I´ve not done nothing to correct this.
Is there any setting or plug-in to improve the solution explorer? Specifically, it would be amazing if I could have something like the windows file explorer, with folders on the left and files on the right (or split in two panes I can arrange any way I like).
In larger projects, I feel like I am constantly frustrated by scrolling up and down trying to find things, it's driving me crazy! Any suggestions would be appreciated.
This is for VS 2010

Also check Productivity Power Tools (http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/d0d33361-18e2-46c0-8ff2-4adea1e34fef?SRC=Home). There is nice thing - Solution Navigator
You can check this add in seems to be for visual studio 2005 but the source code is there
Is there a way to collapse all the files at once in the Solution Explorer window in Visual Studio?
Use the extension Collapse Solution. Usually, this feature comes with ReSharper, but I presume that you are not using ReSharper.
There are also a lot of macros out there that help you do the same. One of them is in ‘Collapse All’ in Visual Studio.
Note: There is no inbuilt way in Visual Studio to actually achieve this. And considering just how practical it is, I would have thought they would have added this kind of feature way back in Visual Studio 2005 itself. I know people have been asking for it for years. But in their infinite wisdom, Microsoft don't consider it important enough.
In visual studio 2013, there is a button in solution explorer - Collapse All
I think this extension have requested functionality - PowerCommands for VS 2010.
Also Productivity Power Tools
contains solution navigator which also have this feature and much more usefull stuff for solution navigation and search.
Edited: there also a lot of examples of macro, doing this stuff.
Try free VSCommands 2010 Lite extension. It has this and few other free features.
In Visual Studio 2013 you can do it with right click by Solution -> Collapse All
Of course, you can collapse any selected node by pressing '-', but I understand you are probably looking to collapse the entire tree.
