It's relatively easy to find color themes for Visual Studio. A quick search turns up tens or hundreds of themes without much effort, such as a Vibrant Ink clone, and some of Jeff Atwood's original themes.
I use Visual Assist X -- pretty much the best Visual Studio plugin I've ever used, but it changes the color of code on the screen. So if you choose a different theme, the parts of the code that VAX is changing still show up in their original colors.
I'm particularly interested in darker themes, because sometimes I prefer a light on dark color scheme for getting things done.
Is there an easy way to find such things or am I stuck tweaking?
If I understand the documentation correctly, you just have to adapt syntax highlighting of VAX on your own. Keep in mind that some of VAX's colours are defined at Tools | Options | Environment | Fonts and Colors.
