[SOLVED] Free Skins For Visual Studio 2010

[x BlueRobot]

Does anyone know of any skins for Visual Studio? The only ones I've came across require payment.

Something like this: Studio Styles - Visual Studio color schemes

Or do it yourself? Visual Studio Color Theme Editor extension

Visual Studio 2010 Dark Expression Blend Color Theme | Zuhaib

Thanks, I'm using the Son of Obsidian from Studio Styles.

I've actually just applied the Coding Horror 2010 theme to my copy of Visual Studio 2012. 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! :)

I've got the Express edition of VS2012, and the Professional edition of VS2010, because for some reason when I entered the recovery password they sent me for Dreamspark, it wouldn't work so now I can't access my account.

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

I'm using the Ultimate version of 2012 there. 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!!

I use the standard theme on VS2010, but a slightly modified theme on VS2013.

2010? Why didn't you upgrade to 2013?

Ace, who are you referring to?

I guess it could apply to anyone in this thread, but mainly you lol. 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.

I tend to use the 2010 version more, because it loads faster than the 2012 version on my laptop, I use the 2012 version when I need to use the C++11 features.
