There is a Help Viewer that comes with Visual studio 2012.
Visual Studio uses Help Viewer 2.0.
You can open the help viewer by pressing ctrl+F1 when using vs.

If so, how do i turn it on? I don't see it under Tools-> Options
If not, anywhere I can download it?

This extension gives you basic control over the VS2012 colour palette:

Unfortunately there's no control over icons, appearance/roundness of windows etc in this extension however.
Visual Studio 2012 Color Theme Editor is for you, as Daniel said.
There is also an open source project that can restore VS 2010 icons in VS 2012 :
Visual Studio Icon Patcher.
I wouldn't use it anyways, as it's more a hack, than a real solution.
