Color Theme Editor in Visual Studio 2012

Visual Studio 2012 provides one default gray color and also all the Menu items are in CAPS.
There is color theme editor which can change the default theme of Visual Studio 2012 and you can select and even modify the color theme.
Ok let get started...



  • To execute this file open the .vsix in Visual Studio. I had both Visual Studio 2010 and 2012 on my laptop so i selected 'Microsoft Visual Studio Version Selector'



  • Once the file is installed, open the Visual Studio 2012 and you would view new menu item named as 'THEME'
  • You can select different themes listed and change the default gray color of Visual Studio 2012.


Hope you liked this short article.

Till time enjoy the life and coding !!
