Visual Studio Themes

Spice up your IDE… whatever your motivation - nostalgia or just the desire to be different. Visual Studio has the handy feature of allowing you to export all of it’s settings to an XML (.vssettings) file. This allows you to export font, color and text editor settings. I have scoured the internet looking for examples of visual studio settings files… and compiled a short list here. Where possible, I have credited the author. If you would like me to add your favourite visual studio settings file to this list, please email me adam notimplementedexception.com.
