Is it possible to change the background color of the Object Explorer and the Result Menu in SQL Server Management Studio 2017

Pretty much what the title says. Just started learning SQL server. I found how to 'unlock' the dark theme and how to change the fonts and sizes but i still can't change the color in the Object Explorer and the Result Menu in SQL Server Management Studio 2017. Is it possible that this is all we got till now... Cause it is hard for me to believe that there is no working full dark theme for SQL Server Management Studio 2017 or the possibility to change it manualy. Any help would be much appreciated. Also is there another IDE or editor for SQL server 2017 other than SQL Server Management Studio 2017, like there are a LOT diffirent editors for programing languages like Sublime, NotePad++, VS Code etc...

According to https://datamajor.net/ssms_darktheme/ and other sources Dark theme in SSMS is incomplete and it isn't clear whether it will ever be completed and officially included.

Meanwhile it is possible to work with SQL Server using IDEs that have Dark theme:

  • Azure Data Studio (by Microsoft free)
  • Visual Studio Code (by Microsoft free)
  • Visual Studio Express (by Microsoft free)
  • dbForge Studio (by DevArt paid product)
