Short: My Visual Studio Color Settings
UPDATE: http://studiostyles.info/ for a great growing community of Visual Studio Styles and Themes. You can create, import and export themes in your browser!
Here's my freshly exported and slightly tweaked Visual Studio 2005 color settings per popular demand. I'm mixing Consolas and Inconsolata fonts. More font discussion and comparison shots on DamienG's site. Be sure to click the image, as he's highlighted what he thinks are the problems with rendering in each of the font samples. He also posts his tweaked InconsolataDG with a slashed zero while he waits for Raph Levien's revised version.

so they can be preserved? I'm somewhat new to VS2005. I know in VS2003 you could do it through the registry.
Thanks!
I requested this after looking at the previous post http://www.hanselman.com/blog/CommentView.aspx?guid=8781D481-DD8E-4501-A86D-069686E025E7
There are screen shots here. To import it over your own settings (vs2005): -
Tools -> Import Export Settings -> Choose Import Selected Environment settings
Save your settings just in case. Browse to where you extracted the zip to.
I have attempted to apply the same style to vs2003 with moderate success. I have saved the styles using VSStyler found at

whoa!!
Have you been taking LSD?
Guess I'll try anything once.
Thanks for being Scott Hanselman.
One thing drives me nuts: on the normal text background, I can't see the mouse move. The mouse cursor becomes a black bar | shape and disappears. I can't find a way to change the mouse cursor setting in Visual Studio options.
Scott, you must use the keyboard to navigate and cut/copy/paste text instead of the mouse.
Thanks.
