I'm not a fan of both the dark and light color themes offered in Visual Studio 2012.
How can I change colors of the title bar, menu bar, tool bars, etc to make them look like the ones in Visual Studio 2010?

Change the color themeOn 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.
The easiest way to install a Visual Studio theme is to navigate over to the Extensions option in the menu bar and select Manage Extensions. The next step is to select Visual Studio Marketplace under Online on the left panel. Once done, search for the theme you want and select it in the search results.
The blue theme has been added back in Visual Studio 2012 Update 2, no extensions required.

Download and install the Color Theme Editor Extension 2012 which works with VS2012.
(It allows you to apply a predefined theme or customise the theme for yourself - but you can choose the 'Blue' theme for a VS2010 style)
(edit: Or use the 'Blue' theme that is now built into VS2012 as of Update 2)
