Visual Studio 2019 Editor Color Sucks

Is there any easy way to make bright editor color same as in VS 2017 ?

 

Tools > Options > Environment > General > Color Theme.

 

Yes that is the place where you can select bright color that sucks.

 

It's the place where you can change your theme.
Visual Studio still has the dark and blue themes as usual.

 

damn... for a second I thought someone had stolen my account to write this thread.. almost thought it was thread I had started but forgotten

Just last week I had start using VS2019 and some retard looks to have been allowed to turn VS2019 dark theme into some sort of washed out candy color palette of crap.. damn morons.. ended up having to use vs2017 to install the theme editor plugin, export my theme out, install the theme editor plugin on 2019, import my only slight modified 2017 dark theme, and then replace all the missing colors with equivalent alternatives... I prefere VS2017 somewhat simple coloring on things, having a different color for everything little thing just looks stupid. I like just have blue for built in functions, and white for most things methods etc types in a different color, with just things like strings, values etc in other colors.. compared to all the crapy pastel colors added in 2019 i prefer the old one, they should have called it classic and kept it.. I still make some changes to things from that, but would have taken ages going through all changed colors in 2017 to fix things.


As you are right, the VS2019 editor language coloring sucks, also I'm really wishing for some standardized theming editor, one where themes from all different ide's can be customized so I can get exact coloring in all of them.

 

hmm nope ... I had a fresh install install of winshit 10, following by a lengthy install of vs2019.... chose the dark theme, it had awful pastel colors for things in c#.... so not what I was expecting.

Anyway its back to how I like it now, I just keep a backup of that custom theme from now on.

 

Look this pro beauty

and this oversaturated crap, yes it look a bit similar because i imported settings from vs17

 

...They want a light theme.

 

Well i dont like Black its too Edgy and i dont use it full screen.

 

Yes, quite.

 

IDK. It looks like this to me and I'm perfectly happy with it (VS 2019 on Windows 10).

 

You can be snarky all you want, just as you were in the autosave thread, but as there, this does not make you right.

yeah those colors are awful to me.. specifically the pastel pinks/yellows etc.. they just added those in 2019 and it just made me want to puke abit ...like those colors don't go with a classic dark themes coloring..


anyway what mine looks like..

I left the enum/numerical values at the greeny/yellow color it it used to be in 2017, I tolerate it just barely... I'd probably change it but just got used to it now,... but is no way in hell I'm going to stare a freaking pink if/else/return/break etc ..those would normally be in blue in vs2017 and I'm just so used to it that way... I do like prefer my strings in purple, and comments/summary's grade out probably the only real color changes i made to default 2017 vs theme... now my vscode theme, well that is something else

And I'd much rather use vscode but the stupid thing doesn't really support c#/compiler symbols, and the debugging in vscode is naff..and oh vscode has a S***ty tabbar aswel :/ yeah guess I'll be using vs2019 for a while still.

I just used the 2017 version of that to export the vs2017 theme, then when you import that into the 2019 color theme editor you'll get given a list of options to see all the new entries that the 2017 theme doesn't cover... quickest way to fix all the new yucky coloring.

 

I did have a the 2017 default dark theme exported but lost it.. only have my 2019 dark theme export saved now.

 

I'm thinking there may be some kind of bug with Visual Studio when upgrading from 2017 - 2019, because my font colors where slightly different as well after, though not as bad as this. This doesn't appear to be the intended default font color settings, however.

If you head over to Tools > Options > Fonts and Colors and click on "Use Defaults", your font colors should revert back to the same default look in VS 2017.
