I appreciate that the Visual Studio team is continually trying to improve the VS environment for developers. However, I find the fonts and colors used in the VS 2022 editor to be too loud and mentally taxing. I'd very much like to change the VS 2022 text editor fonts and colors to match what I'm use to in VS 2019.
Unfortunately it's not a simple as going into Tools > Options > Environment > Fonts and Colors and changing the font from Cascadia Code back to Consolas. Sure one can do that, and that's a step forward but the font coloring is then to light. This is apparently because the font colors in general were lightened in VS 2022 to partially compensate for the fact that Cascadia Code is a very heavy font. This of course makes sense, IF you want to keep Cascadia Code as the editor font. But I don't. I want to switch back to Consolas, and I'd like the font coloring that VS 2019 used as well.
So anybody know an easy way to get the VS 2022 editor to use the text color coding that VS 2019 uses?

Here's how to change it to a different color theme. On the menu bar, select Tools > Options. In the options list, select Environment > General. In the Color theme list, choose between the default Dark theme, the Blue theme, the Blue (Extra Contrast) theme, and the Light theme.
Go to Window > Preferences, then navigate to General > Editors > Text Editors. In the panel on the right, from the Appearance color options list select Background color, then use the color picker to choose the desired color (the System default checkbox must be unchecked).
By default, the environment font is tied to a system font that appears as 9 pt Segoe UI in current versions of Windows.
If you were using the dark theme in VS 2019, you can install this port: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=MadsKristensen.DarkTheme2019, works great for me. Unfortunately it doesn't look like anyone ported the light theme.
