I’m using non-standard Visual Studio environment settings and I’ve decided to share them with other developers on the web. I hope that everybody is familiar with how to import and export VS settings but for those who do not know I’ll write few words.

First of all you need to start your VS :). Then you should go to Main menu\Tools\Import and Export Settings…

Visual Studio Import and Export Settings Wizard will appear. You can follow wizard instruction and you will be able to import, export or restore defualt settings.

And now let me show you some print screens with different VS’ text editors and their look. Below you can see my XML editor settings.

The next screen shot depicts the settings of my HTML editor.

And below you can look at my settings of C# language text editor.

I also use the same line of colors and fonts in order to configure VS immediate window and find result window. Below is the find result window.

And now if you like my VS environment settings you can download them from here and use them. This package contains only my editors settings and will not change your toolbox or other windows position. It also will not change your text editor formatting settings. But I strongly RECOMMEND you to export your current settings before to import my settings in order to be able to restore your preferred VS state in the case you do not like my settings when you touch them.

Enjoy!
