Change Visual Studio background color

Posted on November 1, 2012 by erictummers

The background color of Visual Studio 2010 is a dark blue gradient. Problem is the gradient gives a flickering effect on external monitors when the frequency is under 75 Hz.
I want to change it to a solid color. Visual Studio Color Theme Editor can do this for me.

Working in a DevOps team is the best thing that happened to me. I like challenges and sharing the solutions with others. On my blog I’ll mostly post about my work, but expect an occasional home project, productivity tip and tooling review.
