The dark blue background in the Visual Studio 2010 IDE is driving me nuts. How can I change the background to a slate silver color?

Here's how to change the color theme of the IDE frame and the tool windows in Visual Studio. On the menu bar, choose Tools > Options. In the options list, choose Environment > General. In the Color theme list, choose either the default Dark theme, the Light theme, the Blue theme, or the Blue (Extra Contrast) theme.
On the menu bar, which is the row of menus such as File and Edit, choose Tools > Options. On the Environment > General options page, change the Color theme selection to Dark, and then choose OK. The color theme for the entire Visual Studio development environment (IDE) changes to Dark.
Why is the status bar blue? The reason for the difference is VS Code will display a blue status bar when you open a folder. At all other times it will display a purple status bar.
You can do that in Tools / Options and then Environment / Fonts And Colors and there is a setting for background color.
Or even better you can choose from predefined styles at http://studiostyl.es/, these style setting works for Visual Studio 2008 and Visual Studio 2010 for all versions, including the express : http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2010/04/29/download-and-share-visual-studio-color-schemes.aspx
