I was reading http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2009/01/27/asp-net-mvc-1-0-release-candidate-now-available.aspx and noticed a Fantastic color scheme used to illustrate their code in Visual Studio.
The white background is starting to hurt my eyes after long periods, but the black I find is also to abrasive.
Does anyone have a exported version of that color scheme, or in leiu, care to share their color schemes thwy find for a developer whic spends about 15 hours a day in Visual Studio?

For text window backgrounds, go to Options => IDLE Preferences => Highlighting tab. Save the builtin theme (both are the same) as a custom theme, with a new name. Change the background of each element with a white background to the color you want. Hit Apply or OK.
I'm not sure which color scheme is the best - it pretty much depends on your individual preference. But take a look at the pages below for some schemes
