Most developers spend the majority of their day with their head stuck inside visual studio,  I’m no different, so as a result I like to customize my editor so that I am as comfortable as possible.  Its in this area i’m a little old fashioned. I can’t stand the default white colour settings that visual studio offers, therefore I spend quite some time tuning them so they meet my needs.  Below is an example my code windows in visual studio. I really like these settings and I feel it makes the code far more readable and items such as strings, numbers, operators, keywords and regions are all specifically coded.

Many of my colleagues have commented that my settings make my code window look like a Christmas tree. So if your feeling like you want to be a little festive then you can grab them here.
