Visual Studio Moria Alternate

Link. April 30, 2007. Comments [3]. Posted in: Development | VS Color Scheme

This is yet another dark color scheme for Visual Studio 2005. This one is based (loosely) on the excellent Moria color scheme created by Georg Dahn that I use for Vim.

There are obviously a lot of differences, as Vim's syntax highlighting is a bit more flexible (and a bit more limited in other manners) than Visual Studio's, but it's not bad overall and I've been pretty happy with it. some difference, though, are intentional, like a slightly darker background color or line numbers.

Here's a screenshot of looking at XML in VS:

Moria_xml

Here's a screenshot of looking at code:

The scheme as is is saved using Deja Vu Sans Mono as the font; feel free to replace it with your favourite programming font. Get the settings file here.

Update: Download the Visual Studio 2008 version here.

I still want a green background and bold (all caps) white text so I can feel like I'm still writing COBOL! (Just kidding)

Does such a beast exist for VS 2003?

@Serdar: I haven't explicitly created one. VS2003 is a lot more cumbersome for this!
