Are there any colour schemes for VS 2010 (preferably dark schemes) that include settings for ReSharper 5.1?
All attempts at google-fu have failed me.
The one I'm using at the moment messes up when R# tries to highlight a line because the colours are too similar.
I know I could do this myself... and will if I have to. But if there are already some schemes to save me the effort, it would be great. Thanks!
I've been using this one lately in 2010:
Visual Studio Settings for the TDD Ninja
Are you looking for a dark theme? If so, ping me and I'll send you mine.

Afternoon!
First, I hope everyone is well.
I am currently experimenting with Visual Studio [Version: 17.5.0 Preview 4.0] (to clarify, not Visual Studio Code) and was hoping to utilize a Nerd Font, specifically CaskaydiaCove Nerd Font, for my Terminal. This is so Oh-My-Posh will have the necessary icons to display correctly.
However, it seems that Visual Studio does not allow Nerd Fonts as a font for the Terminal. If you look in the attached screenshots below, you can see that the setting’s dropdown does not list Nerd Fonts as options. Curiously, they are available as a choice for the Text Editor.
Regarding to solve it myself, I have scoured the Visual Studio documentation and tried my best Google-fu to find any results. Disappointingly most search engines return results concerning Visual Studio, not Visual Studio Code.
Before I submit a report to the developers of Visual Studio, I would like to cover all my bases and make sure I am not missing something.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Wild guess here. They might still be on conhost which doesn't work with OTF files and needs TTF. So, theoretically, installing the same font as TTF could do the trick. You'll need to do a manual install from the Nerd Font repo in this case as they don't ship the TTF files inside their zip files.
I also have problems with the fact that "CaskaydiaCove Nerd Font" and other fonts are not available for the terminal, but "JetBrainsMono NF" is available for some reason and the icons in the visual studio console are displayed correctly.

I am new to Visual Studio and would like to disable the IntelliSense automatic suggestions without disabling IntelliSense entirely. More precisely, I don't want popup hints continually covering the code I'm working on, but I'd still like to be able to use Ctrl-Space to request suggestions at times. I'm coding in C/C++.
I've seen information on how to do this for Visual Studio Code, but I haven't found anything similar for Visual Studio.
Or if this is just a matter of me not understanding how to properly use Visual Studio or IntelliSense, please help me understand or point me to a forum where true Microsoft devotees hang out.
The solution is to go to Tools -> Options -> Text Editor -> C/C++ -> General and uncheck Auto list members.
Credit goes to this answer in "Intellisense “Toggle Completion Mode” doesn't work with C++ in Visual Studio 2010 Professional".
Turning off auto-suggestions in Visual Studio 2019 without turning off
IntelliSense
Solution
Edit Menu-->Intellisense-->click Toggle Completion Mode
After that, when you type, it will not cover the code you are working on automatically.
Hope it could help you.

I love VS2013 with the Solarized-Dark theme.
I would like to use the IDE to do other tasks, if possible.
I noticed that SQL Server 2014 uses the VS2010 IDE for it's interface.
I realize that might be because they have the source to the IDE - LOL.
I'm just wondering if I can create an add-in, or in some other way USE the VS2013 IDE for other purposes - creating tabs and hosting my own controls in those tabs - and of course modifying the menus.
The rest of the look/feel - I'd like to remain as I think it's superior for any programmer. The custom (ie; NON-Windows7) scrollbars - the tabs - the Solarized theme - are all things I would want to keep.
Any pointers or advice would be greatly appreciated.
I've use VS since it's inception, but never tried to develop add-ins or extend the IDE in any way.
THANKS in advance!
You can find an overview and deep content about Visual Studio Extensibility (VXS) on my web site:
http://www.visualstudioextensibility.com/overview/vs/
You can extend the Visual Studio IDE or reuse the Visual shell for your own purposes. SQL Server uses the Visual Studio Shell, Integrated Mode.
Just installed VS 2013 (was previously on 2010) and I deeply regret it. I'm so glad the company picked up the tab!
I've read around a bit and found that a lot of people hate the VS 2012/2013 look & feel, and there are tools and tips to bring back the 2010 look & feel in VS 2012. However I couldn't find something like that for 2013 and wondering if I missed it or it just wasn't invented yet.
Edit: Two things I did find which someone else might be interested in too:
Disabling the ALL CAPS menus (this is is another SO question and found easily)
Disabling the file contents expanding (this appears to be less known and god knows how this guy even found it...
Edit #2: In the end I didn't use the themes in the provided answer. It seems that the "close to 2010" theme comes built-in in 2013 under the "Blue" name. I decided not to bother with icons and colors beyond that, to try and get used to these icons. The hacks above, coupled with VSCommands proved sufficient for me.
Here's a great tool for customizing your VS UI. It works with 2012 or 2013. There's also quite a few different themes available around the web, some of which mimic the UI of 2010.

I am a student & am newly introduced to the Microsoft Blend.
Its something really impressive & makes me design happily.
But I am facing a problem: Its fine about the designing part but what about the coding?
Where are we suppose to write the code? I mean how are we to import that file into Visual Studio 2010.
Please do tell me the solution ? I have been looking out for resources nearly everyday.
But its still in vague.
Thanking you.
Expression Blend is a tool meant for designers so it does not really focus much on features for writing code. It is actually designed to inter-operate well with Visual Studio and you should be able to just open any Blend project or solution in Visual Studio and do your coding there.
In fact, I often have both tools open at the same time with the same project open and it makes for a pretty smooth workflow. For example, if I make a change in Blend and then switch to Visual Studio it will prompt me to reload the changes.
If you have Visual Studio installed the easiest way is to click on a file inside the Projects tab and then choose Edit in Visual Studio (see image). Once you do that VS will load the project / solution and open the file for you to edit your file and or add code to it.
