This Extension allows the developers to customize Visual Studio 2010 color palette used for menus, toolbars, tabs, title bars etc.
The extension is simply Cool and it was one of the feature that i was looking for in Visual Studio 2010 which is now .
The extension makes Visual Studio look like whatever color you want. 🙂
You can Download the Extension here or
