Dark Theme for Visual Studio 2010 With Productivity Power Tools

Question

There s a lot of new things going on in the Productivity Power Tools extensions  and I find that many of the new features come with very weird color combinations  that many times make the text completely illegible  I assume this is because I ve previously set a dark theme for Visual Studio  and some  but not all  of the settings that affect the extension have been changed   Are there any good dark themes out there that have been put together after the Productivity Tools Extension was published  that create a unified color theme for both VS and the extension features   Clarification  This question is not about color schemes for code  such as those found at studiostyles  I m talking about color schemes that apply to the development environment itself  toolboxes  menus  tooltips  windows  buttons

Install the Visual Studio Color Theme Editor extension  Make your own color scheme or try  The Dark Expression Blend Color Theme  preview below  Once you have that  you ll want schemes for the text editor as well  This site has several  including the VS2012  dark  theme implemented for VS2010

So  I tested above themes and found out none of them are showing proper color combination when using Productivity Power Tools in Visual Studio  Ultimately  being a fan of dark themes  I created one myself which is fully supported from VS2005 to VS2013  Here s the screenshot      Download this dark theme from here  Obsidian Meets Visual Studio  To use this theme go to Tools -  Import and Export Setting    -  import selected environment settings -   optional to save current settings  -  Browse select and then Finish

Not sure if any of these help  but this might get you started   http   studiostyles info  I know that the site owner has been gradually adding functionality to allow support for new color assignments  so perhaps there s something there
