Visual studio themes

[eberkund]

I came across this project: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=VisualStudioProductTeam.VisualStudio2017ColorThemeEditor

And it looks like this is the supported way of having themes in Visual Studio.

The themes in this repo are in a different format though. I think this is the way to go if the ultimate goal is having a extension you can install with all the themes.

I agree with this, if nothing else because it's more simple. I couldn't find the "My Settings" and had to do another import and have it override my current settings for it to work.

I'm using the Mac version of Visual Studio as my test platform for this, but I'm starting to wonder if they use different theme types. If I get a chance I'll install VS on my Windows computer and have a play around. Sorry about that guys! I'll keep you updated.

As far as I know, Visual Studio for Mac is an entirely different application that is a rebranded Xamarin Studio with very little in common with Visual Studio for Windows.

Fortunately the themes for Visual Studio extension is open source: https://github.com/Microsoft/VS-ColorThemes Maybe we could just copy that and create a new repo so VS for Mac and Windows are separate?

The Windows themes appear to be over 8000 lines long, so I think it might take a little while before those show up I'm afraid guys. 😂 I'll see what I can do, though.

Hey guys, I've added VS support for windows to the project plan https://github.com/orgs/rainglow/projects/1 and I've also added a Mac only notice to the install section of the VS themes project.

Going to close this for now. Thanks for bringing this to my attention!
