ssms - SQL Server Management Studio Skin / Appearance / Layout

Question

Can you apply a custom skin / appearance to SSMS? I am thinking something along the lines of a dark theme (black background, yellow font) you'd find in most IDEs

question from:https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16107471/sql-server-management-studio-skin-appearance-layout

Answer 1

I decided to try something simple on SSMS 2012:

1. Go to http://studiostyl.es/
2. Pick a theme and download it
3. Follow these screenshot instructions

Note that doing this will only affect the theme of the text editor, not the toolbar, menu, object explorer window, etc.
