Visual Studio 2012, Grey no more!
Putting the colour back into your programming life

10 September 2012

I’ve already made my feelings known about the depressingly grey user interface of Visual Studio 2012.



Well, now I have good news. You can change the colours back to the VS 2010 scheme or (with a bit of effort) any other colour scheme that takes your fancy. All thanks to the new VS2012 Theme Editor. To install this, use the VS Tools menu, select Extensions and Updates, Online. Then browse, install, restart Visual Studio and pick your preferred colours from the Theme menu.
