I'd like a little color in my icons, but I don't think they all need to be full color. We're used to seeing glyphs in Windows already, like in the "tray" by the clock. You can see a lot of glyphs at and I used a lot in my recent Windows Phone 7 application. Glyphs are apparently a designer term for icons that are not colorful. The colorful Visual Studio icons were changed to glyphs. I know the Visual Studio design team is collecting everyone's on their blog and I encourage you to comment there so they see it. That's just one man's opinion but I'm not too worried about it. I'm sure they have heard that feedback from a lot of people. Personally, I don't like the ALL CAPS much. VS11 shows a preview of images if you hover over it. Of course you can change the colors and generally mess about as you like. It's a nice way to "tidy up" Visual Studio today. This is the same list that you are offered the very first time you launch Visual Studio. This feature has been there for years because folks asked for it. That will hide all your tools windows, and extra stuff in the Visual Studio you already have. In VS10, today, you can switch your IDE to Web Development (Code Only) from Tools | Export Settings | Reset and you'll get this dialog. I called some out in my Visual Studio Programmer Theme Gallery. Also, did you know about It's a growing list of themes for Visual Studio.

I also blogged about how to change your themes and make VS 2010 look like 2008 here. See how Visual Studio looks very different below than it does above? It's customizable so you can get a number of weird looks. In fact, the Web Team (the team I'm on) has a simplified Code View that we've had available since VS 2010.
I actually blogged about simplifying your Visual Studio 2010 a while back.
There's only so many ways you can make a minimal UI with a text editor, line numbers, a find dialog and a scrollbar. The dark theme in Visual Studio 11 looks a lot like my current Text Editor of Choice (and the new hotness everyone is talking about) Sublime Text 2.

It's still Visual Studio, so that's something, but the skin has changed. Last, what this new look means to Windows applications and app design in general.Second, look side, what actual new features are in the new Visual Studio.There's basically three issues here as I see it. My initial reaction to the redesign was who moved my cheese? Why are we making everything gray? But I've been running this for a few weeks and I have some perspective even though I'm not on the Visual Studio team (I work on the web team). This is my blog, not hosted, run, organized or written by anyone but me. Some folks are freaking out about the colors and the icons.īecause the first blog post from Visual Studio was on the new look and feel (and because everyone is Metro-styling everything) the public perception is that no work has been happening except the icons and colors have changed. The Visual Studio design team put a post out today called " Introducing the New Developer Experience" and many of the comments are negative. The next version of Visual Studio is being worked on and the Beta is coming out soon that we'll all get to download. If you write an article about this and quote me as "The Principal Program Manager for Something Major" then you are a silly person.
