Visual Studio Theme Generator

August 7, 2008 by ryan

This is a really short post but I wanted to pass the word along. I just finished a fun little ASP.NET MVC Application to generate Visual Studio themes based off of 3 given colors. I have always felt that selecting every color to make a coherent theme is way too repetitive. This web application automatically chooses complements / contrasts based off your initial color selections (and uses jQuery to let you preview your theme before creating). I will be making another, more detailed post later that will explain how it all works but for now, check it out and let me know what you think.

Very cool tool.

I started writing a script to convert VIM color files over to Visual Studio Themes but didn't give it enough time. Are you planning on releasing the source? I'd be very interested in creating a client-side version of the tool.

@Joel, Thank you sir!

@David, We are considering that. We were actually hoping to make this a client-side plugin also. Maybe we could collaborate?
