VS itself it set with the blue window scheme, and the coding horror theme has changed the editor colours etc. That's so much nicer on my eyes than the old white theme! :) Last edited: Jan 8, 2014

I don't think anyone uses the default themes :lol:

We've got 2010 Professional on my school workstations. Drwamspark is very useful, that's where I got my copy from. However, I've had my account for a year, and its expired and the Head of IT can't work out how to reactivate it. I will be upgrading to 2013 when I can get on my account again. It wasn't until I saw this thread I actually knew they did custom themes. I will definitely he installing the Coding Horror theme on my school account!!

Your thread title is "Free Skins For Visual Studio 2010", why not 2013? Or at least version 2012? There's many added benefits to using the latest version of Visual Studio.
