Join the Darkside…

Not that long ago I saw a post on one of the blogs out there about joining the DarkSide for Visual Studio. I’m proud to say that I’ve been a Dark Sider now for over 10 years… Yeah I know that’s before Visual Studio.net. Prior to that I did a lot of VB and VBA work and I used a dark color scheme there as well. Listed below is a screenshot of my dark scheme. Which you can also get here for VS2005. The font I am using here is the BitStream Vera Sans Mono which you can get here.
So come on over to the darkside and give us a try. 🙂
