Roy,

Are you trying to make VS.NET look a little like VI, EMACs etc.?

I know I'll get my programmer card pulled for this, but since I tried Verdana 12pt on a laptop panel with ClearType enabled I've never switched it back. Clearer, more code on the screen, bling-bling, who needs mono-spaced fonts.

I have been using a black background in VS.net for a while now, it is so much better on my eyes. I'm using slightly different other colors for the other types.

Here is a tip for you as well(if you didn't already know this) If you ever have to reinstall or change computers you can save these color settings by exporting the following key in the registry.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\7.0\FontAndColors
(or 7.1 if you are using vs 2003)

cool. I wan't aware of that registry key, but my soon to be released add-in should make that whole process a lot simpler...
