Visual Studio 2013 randomly changes the theme on its own

Tags:

I seem to be having a terribly annoying issue with Visual Studio 2013. I am using the "default" Dark theme on my environment, but every few minutes or so it changes its theme to another, which is not even a theme I have on my machine.

Has anyone else experienced this? How does one solve it?

Turns out the issue was the fact that Synchronized Settings were enabled, therefore it was trying to sync theme and other settings across different machines.

Solution: In VS13, go to Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Synchronized Settings and then uncheck the "Enabled synchronization" box.

Visual Studio will change its theme to default if your computer is struggling to keep up with the graphical requirements.

You can change this by unchecking Options > Environment > General > "Automatically adjust visual experience based on client performance".
