I searched how to change visual studio 2012 theme many time. But couldn't change it. I download themes. I do everything what guides say in import export settings. It says "Your settings were successfully imported from wekeroad-ink.vssettings." but nothing happens.
Tools>options>ENviorment>General There is visual experience section and you can chose Light or dark themes if you want more you can use Visual Studio 2012 colour theme editor
it have few pre-made themes (especially a blue theme really great to eye) you can also tweak every colour of Visual Studio by using it.

I am using the Dracula theme, but there are parts of the code that do not display correctly as shown in the graphic.
When I start the editor everything loads correctly, but after a few milliseconds it changes and does not respect the theme, is there any configuration that has to be done to make it respect the theme?
Just save all the projects and android studio settings. Then uninstall android studio and reinstall it.
OR
Simply restore the setting to default, like so:

So I know how to use a switch to activate and deactivate Dark Theme in Android Studio. I currently have that feature in a settings activity I created. I can't seem to find an answer to how I can apply that to all my activities though. So if there is a way to do this I would love to know how I could go about setting this up.
I'm looking for a resource or example code on how to change the color theme in VS2012.
I'd like to do this dependant on the value of an AppSetting entry in the app.config.
Ideally when when the app isn't running and the theme would change once the file is edited.
However, I'd appreciate anything towards that goal.
At first, you can use free Visual Studio 2012 Color Theme Editor, which you can download here:
https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/366ad100-0003-4c9a-81a8-337d4e7ace05
This will add “Theme” menu in your VS.
Also you can change your icons: here http://vsip.codeplex.com/ you can download Visual Studio Icon Patcher (But VS2010 should be also installed for this to work).
But, if you want to implement your own code to change themes, the best way is making own extensions which look like VSPackage. You can read recommendations how to do this here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/ru-ru/library/bb165437.aspx
And in other articles at this site you can find more information about implementing your own ideas in the VS.
I've been using custom editor colors for Visual Studio for a few years now, through several versions. I just updated 2013 to Update 4, and now all my colors got screwed up. I reset to the default dark theme to go from there, and I noticed you can no longer change the color of classes and structs, or any identifier for that matter (I use C#). Instead they use the default color. What is happening?
EDIT: This seems to have occurred for VS2012 as well...
I found the source of my problem: Color Theme Editor Extension
It turns out that when the problem occurred I had the color theme editor installed on VS2013 Pro and VS2012 Pro. Even after I disabled it in VS2013, the problem remained in VS2013 Pro and VS2012 Pro and Express for Windows Desktop, so I dismissed that as the cause at first.
What was odd is that it did not occur in VS2013 Express for Windows Desktop. Resetting Visual Studio (any problematic version) to default settings did not fix the problem, it only made it less noticeable. I still had custom fonts and colors from my VS2013 Express installation, so I exported them then imported them into VS2013 Pro.
For anyone else who seems to be getting this issue because of this extension, try installing 2013 Express and re-creating your custom fonts and colors there, and importing the settings back into Premium/Professional/Ultimate. I am not sure if it will work for everyone, but doing that with my previous install worked for me.
Are there any add-ins available that let you customize the UI look and feel for Visual Studio 2012 IDE?
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.
