Just updated to vs2012 update 2 but I noticed that the text colors have changed for any knockout portions in html. they have very light grey background and this makes it very hard to read. I cant find any thing specific that points to knockout js in the fonts and colors section of the visual studio options so I havent been able to make them readable.
does any one know how to fix this?
In Visual Studio -> Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Fonts and Colors, in the Display items:, scroll down to Knockout region and modify the Item background: color.
I had the same issue. I installed this ASP.NET and Web Tools 2012 and then I got the "Knockout Region" and was then able to edit the style
Just install Visual Studio 2012 Color Theme Editor (300KB)
It will automatically fix the problem for all themes. (Dark, Blue, Light)
It is useful especially if you can't find Knockout Region in Visual Studio -> Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Fonts and Colors -> Display items.

I downloaded Vim Dark here. I prefer change all grey text to white, but i stuck on Local variable, Constructor declaration, ...etc because there's no colour block to click.
My platform is Fedora 21 and Android Studio 2.0.
I figure out the answer.
I have to change the color on General -> Text -> Default Text.
And also General -> Errors and Warnings -> Unused symbol. For unknown reason, you have to Click "Apply"/"OK" to take effect on Java section preview.
I like the Dark Color Theme for VS2012 but it really annoys me that it doesn´t apply to the Project Properties.
And I can´t find the Properties to change the Color in the Visual-Studio-ColorTheme Editor...
Is it even possible to change these Colours?
GoTo: Tools -> Options -> Environment (General)
you will get the option to change color, only if you've installed the Visual-Studio Color theme editor
I have difficulties seeing my Visual Studio 2012 window is active. Is there any way I can make the Visual Studio 2012 window behave like a standard window.
Visual Studio 2012 behavior (I can't tell the difference):
Active:
Inactive:
Standard window behavior (much easier to see when active):
Active:
Inactive:
I would like to avoid using the operating system high contrast setting if at all possible.
As #mandaleeka suggested I ended up using the Visual Studio 2012 Color Theme Editor extension.
But an even better highlighting option in my case is to change the "Main Window -> Caption" -> "Active" -> "Background" color.
Here is my resulting theme:
One workaround to this is to install the Visual Studio 2012 Color Theme Editor extension and modify one of the built in themes to change the inactive window border color.
After installing the extension, go to Tools -> Customize Colors. Select a theme to copy colors from, give it a name, and hit "Create". In the color editor, scroll down to the "Main Window" section and under "Inactive" change Border to something that stands out.
Here is an example:
I'm not a fan of both the dark and light color themes offered in Visual Studio 2012.
How can I change colors of the title bar, menu bar, tool bars, etc to make them look like the ones in Visual Studio 2010?
The blue theme has been added back in Visual Studio 2012 Update 2, no extensions required.

Download and install the Color Theme Editor Extension 2012 which works with VS2012.
(It allows you to apply a predefined theme or customise the theme for yourself - but you can choose the 'Blue' theme for a VS2010 style)
(edit: Or use the 'Blue' theme that is now built into VS2012 as of Update 2)
I wrote a blog post explaining in detail how to make VS 2012 look like VS 2010 as much as possible. I will summarize it here.
Replace the new monochrome icons with the old ones and make the menu icons lowercase.
For this you need both the 2010 and 2012 versions installed and the Visual Studio Icon Patcher tool. Start the tool (it's a cmd line application) and enter extract, then inject and finally menus.
Change the color theme to blue.
Download the Visual Studio 2012 Color Theme Editor, go to "Tools - Customize Colors" and select the blue theme.
Final result:
It is not exactly like VS2010 but it gets pretty damn close.
I have a problem with colors of code assist. It looks like that: http://ciemborowicz.pl/pub/aptana.png (right bottom corner). I tried to change these colors in General > Appereance > Colors and Fonts, but it doesn't work. How can I change them?
Click
Window -> Pereferences -> (+)Aptana Studio -> Themes
Select the theme:
Aptana Studio 2.x
Click
Apply -> OK
Restart Aptana and you should be good to go after that.
Have a look at
Pereferences >> Aptana Studio >> Themes
and check the Checkbox:
Enable Invasive Themes
I'm having the same problem, the cause is our desktop environment theme. The only solutions I've found so far are:
use a light theme in Aptana
use a gtk2 theme in Gnome or Lxde
I didn't try it on xfce. I'm trying to find another solution.
