Editor themes can be changed to any of the ten color schemes provided by default in Visual Studio for Mac via the Visual Studio > Preferences... > Text Editor > Color Themes menu options:
New color themes can be added, provided they are in one of the supported formats. These are:
- Visual Studio (
.vssettings) - Xamarin Studio (
.json) - TextMate (
.tmTheme)
There are many resources provided online that will allow you to create your theme and produce a file in the supported format. There are also many galleries online that will provide free access to Visual Studio and TextMate themes.
Once you have found or created a new theme and downloaded it to your local machine, add it by doing the following:
- Select the Add button on the Color Themes Option dialog:
- Browse for the theme on your local machine and press Open.
- This adds the theme to the bottom of the pre-installed list of themes. To preview it, select it. This will update your editor in the background:
- To apply it, press the Okay button.
