Visual Studio Color Scheme – Done for now

After a tough last week where I spent far too much time debugging encryption keys, I needed something to relax. I haven’t tweaked my Visual Studio color settings in a while (a couple of years) so I spent a couple hours today refining them.

You probably don’t want to know what I do when I’ve had a really bad week. Ok, I’ll let you know. I put on some music I like and watch Defrag. Preferably at 2 AM. I don’t know who’s idiotic idea it was to remove the graphical defrag interface from Windows, but I have Diskeeper which also does a better job of defragging.

Where was I ? Oh, color settings.

Here it is. Let me know what you think…

Looks good, but you should also export the settings and upload it so others can use it. :D

It is too faded for my taste.

I like the fonts color to be distinctive, but it is not for everyone.

One question, did you ever try themes with mat background? or "off white"?

באיזה מאפיין זה הקו שמחבר את הסוגריים?

@vvvlad, agreed, I removed most of the fading. I think the end result is better. THanks! I updated the screenshot (but not the settings file)

The new background color is RGB(34,34,26)

@Adiel, as Ohad pointed out, it's CodeRush. If you pay close attention, you can also see that the number 153 on the left of "private void OnPeekMessage...". That's the maintenamce complexity for the procedure.

The italic comment font is from Damien Gurard's Envy Code R font. (damieng.com/.../envy-code-r-preview-7-coding-font-released)

I've also used to have custom color schemes but I found that it could be kind of annoying when you spend some time working on someone else station with his default color scheme, takes time to re-adjust yourself and all that.. and it also goes vice versa, when someone else sits on your station, and then starts complaining that he "can't understand how you work like this!" :)

So eventually.. I've turned back to nearly to a complete default scheme. Makes life a bit easier..
