Nice language and conversation handling there from a "senior mod". Congrats.

I really would like to be nice. I really really would. But when someone makes trivially falsifiable statements as though they were blanket truths it becomes REAL HARD not to simply enter into my default stance, which is one of sarcasm and scorn (in case you weren't aware). That being said, the tone of the rest of this post is ENTIRELY SINCERE.

does vs 2015 looks like that when you install it? My VS 2013 does not, and I dont see any 'deafult' in tools..export setting, just options to import, export and reset setting but hey.. Im stupid so what do I know? I'll leave it to you smart and gentle guys and I promise I will check the world's VS entire install base before making stupid claims.

You need to reset your settings in order to pick a new default. Since this appears to be VERY CONFUSING for you, let me assist you with a series of images, taken from Visual Studio 2013 I might add, that detail HOW you do this. In addition, visual studio looks like whatever you want it to look like. It's had the ability to import and export color settings for a while now, and comes with two default themes (a dark and light theme) since 2012 (shown at the bottom).

Now, I do hope this tutorial is not too hard to follow. I have tried to make it AS SIMPLE AS POSSIBLE:
You start here:

Then you go to here:

Which is followed by this screen:

After which you get here:

Do note that clicking "Finish" at this point will reset all of your key bindings and color customizations, along with your default selected language preference.

To choose themes you go here:

Which leads to here:


I realize this was VERY complicated and terribly difficult to figure out. I really hope that I've made this supremely complex tutorial on how to change your default language and theme as simple as possible. That being said, I can certainly understand if you found it too complex to follow. Please DO FEEL FREE to ask for clarification on any points you found too hard or confusing to follow. Maybe a youtube video would help?

Thanks for the tutorial mate, I hope you don't mind me simply ignoring it?. Luckily for me I've got better things to do on a sunday morning than waste my time arguing with a sore idiot on the interwebz with some kind of mental disorder. But I'm glad to have contributed to make you feel smarter today, it was my pleasure to help you reach a new peak in your life, way to go sporty!

EDIT: Seriously, the fact that people like you are moderators here really makes me reevaluate the point of participating in here.

kunos, you can quit being butthurt over getting called out on a factual inaccuracy. You were wrong. Deal with it.


This thread is kind of wandering away from any semblance of usefulness so consider it on the chopping block, unless people have more constructive things to do than argue about what their customizable IDE UI looks like.

In fact, I'm just going to lock this.
