Why Visual Studio 2012 wpf designer blank in design time but in runtime worked correctly?
In Visual studio 2010 it worked correctly both runtime and design time.
I think your question is unreasonable as both Windows in both Visual Studio 2010 and 2012 are predominantly white (blank) and they both work in both design- and runtime.

Architecture menu in visual studio 2012 Premium does not work. It is showing me in disable mode.I checked in customize menu but toolbar added in Disable form. I can not generate the "Visualize Code Dependencies on Dependency Graphs".
Is there any option without upgrading Visual studio 2012 from Premium to Ultimate Architecture menu work.?
No, it is an Ultimate only tool.
Architecture menu in Visual Studio show only with Microsoft Visual Studio Ultimate edition.To use this option/feature need to buy Microsoft Visual Studio Ultimate edition.
I have installed visual studio 2015 and when I try to create a visual c++ project it shows "Project creation failed error" at the lower end of the panel, though it works fine with visual c# or other projects.
I have been googling for two days now and have tried tampering with the registry as administrator but it didn't work.
My control panel shows installation of the following:
microsoft visual c++ 2015 Redistributable(x86)-14.0,microsoft visual

I got this problem after installing the English translations (I am forced by Microsoft site to download the French version).
Switching back the language to French solved the problem. I spent a good 8 hours on this, reinstalling, deleting files manually, etc...
Hope it helps you

Please advise.
Thanks!

I would just migrate directly to VS2013. The changes between VS2012 and VS2013 are minor and none of them game-breaking.
I would also suggest looking at http://blogs.msdn.com/b/vcblog/archive/2013/06/27/what-s-new-for-visual-c-developers-in-vs2013-preview.aspx and maybe the official MSDN articles
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/bb386063(v=vs.110).aspx for VS2012
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/bb386063(v=vs.120).aspx for VS2013
This may alert you to anything you might want to change\investigate before upgrade. At the end though if your goal is VS2013 then just do 1 upgrade, 1 set of tests etc.
I’m currently developing with Visual Studio 2012, and I was wondering – would my environment be messed up by installing the Visual Studio 2013 Preview?
The known issues for Visual Studio 2013 Preview imply that installing it is safe. One of the issues is “The remaining Visual Studio application is broken after you uninstall Visual Studio 2013 Preview or Visual Studio 2012”:
Symptoms
Consider the following scenario:
[basically, you have installed VS 2013 Preview]
In this scenario, when you uninstall Visual Studio 2012 or Visual Studio 2013 Preview, the application that was not uninstalled is broken.
Workaround
To work around this issue, repair the Visual Studio application that remains on your computer.
It says that an application is broken when you uninstall the other one. That implies that before that, when they were both installed, they were unbroken and working fine.
That issue itself is nothing to worry about, as long as you remember to repair your remaining Visual Studio application after uninstalling another.
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:
http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/366ad100-0003-4c9a-81a8-337d4e7ace05
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.
