I like Blend becomes popular!
Nearly two months ago, I blogged about a Visual Studio 2010 color-theme I made. I named the theme "I like Blend". Now guess what it looks like. Anyway, it seems that the theme has become the most popular thing I've ever done in development.
Many people have downloaded it since its release, and now, as a great peak, the "I like Blend"-Theme is mentioned in Soma Segar's MSDN-Blog in an article about VS2010 Productivity Improvements.
Well, needless to say, I'm kinda proud. Thanks to Soma Segar and Polita Paulus (who asked me for permission)!
Additionally, below is a screencap how the theme looks like. I use a slightly modified version of John Papa's "Dark Theme" as editor color style.
You can download it here! (It's an XML-File, so better right-click and save-as than left-click!)

I Like Blend!
Visual Studio 2010 is out for several weeks, and in this version individual styling of the IDE is easier than ever due to the WPF-source of VS2010. So discussions are starting, whether colorful and contrast, desaturated and grayscaled, dark or bright or anything else is best for eyes, endurance, enlightment and thinking in front of the screen.
The bottom line is usually "It depends..." and "Everyone on his own...". Well, to deliver my comment to this global discussion, I have to admit that I like the visual style of Expression Blend. So I decided to make my VS look like Blend.
Looks like this:
You need the Visual Studio Color Theme Editor to apply a theme to VS.
