Visual Studio allows you to completely customize the editor background and text colors to whatever you want – allowing you to tweak them to create the experience that is “just right” for your eyes and personality. You can then optionally export/import your color scheme preferences to an XML file via the Tools->Import and Export Settings menu command.
A New website that makes it easy to download and share VS color schemes
Luke Sampson launched the http://studiostyles.info/ site a week ago (built using ASP.NET MVC 2, ASP.NET 4 and VS 2010). Studiostyles.info enables you to easily browse and download Visual Studio color schemes that others have already created. The color schemes work for both VS 2008 and VS 2010 (all versions – including the free VS express editions):
You can click any of the schemes to see screen-shots of it in use for common coding scenarios. You can then download the color settings for either VS 2010 or VS 2008: This site is cool and you can find lots of visual studio 2010 and 2008 styles of your choice.
