Material Theme for Visual Studio 2019

Solution 1

You can install the Color Themes for Visual Studio extension, from Microsoft DevLabs.

As of the date of this post, the extension includes a Material Dark theme, among others (refer to the GiHub Repository for more information).

NOTE: You can also customise an existing theme, using the Color Theme Editor, for VS 2017 and VS 2019.

Solution 2

Check out the colour themes from Dainty for Visual Studio.

You will need Node and Yarn installed to build the theme(s) you want. Not all the themes work perfectly with VS2019 but they do have a couple of Material Themes.

    For the last years, I have used Solarized Dark and VS Color Theme Editor themes in Visual Studio 2017 and after trying Material Theme in Visual Studio Code, I wanted to use this wonderful theme in Visual Studio 2019 as well. However, there is no compatible version of Material Theme for VS2019 unfortunately. I am wondering if there is a possibility to transform this theme i.e. with the help of an export tool as Extension Manager mentioned on Use your favorite extensions with Visual Studio 2019. Or is there any theme available similar to Material Theme for Visual Studio 2019?

    These look great. I wonder why he makes his themes for Visual Studio Code available via the VS Marketplace, but not those for Visual Studio? Any idea?
