Distant Shores - A Visual Studio Color Scheme

Link. March 23, 2008. Comments [0]. Posted in: VS Color Scheme

I created this color scheme a while ago but had not posted it yet. Distant Shores is a low-contrast color scheme with a dark background.

I've been using it for a while now and it's fairly usable (particularly on a bright screen); though it is a bit different than most of my other themes. It's (loosely) based on the Stormy Seashore color palette, with a few additions for contrast and provide basic coloring to user types in C#.

Code:

As usual in most of my schemes, this one is using Damien Guard's Envy Code R VS font.

Visual Studio 2005 version.

Visual Studio 2008 version.
