Finally make VS 2012 look like VS 2010[^], using this Theme Editor by Matthew Johnson[^]. More info on Scott Hanselman's blog[^] changing icons back to VS 2010, and make ALL CAPS Menu, normal. Link to change Icons - by xt0rted[^] Microsoft is moving two steps forward with one step backward. :)
I found the icons, but I'm not yet sure how to go about replacing them: It's in the following assembly: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\IDE\Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.UI.Internal.dll They're listed under the resources namespace.

"Why don't you tie a kerosene-soaked rag around your ankles so the ants won't climb up and eat your candy ass." - Dale Earnhardt, 1997Yes, that link was not easy to find... But please backup first before replacing the icons (just in case), you do not want to re-install VS just for the silly icons. Still there is no cure for flat-ness of VS, but I think we can live with that, once we can easily distinguish things from stuff. :) Once I had a VB application, and in new version I choose the 'Flat' style (if you remember it was an option for UI elements in the designer), and the first call I get from an old client saying all the buttons in the application were disabled, they didn't even bother clicking them, I had to quickly change it back to '3D' style. :doh:

Dave Rutvik's post, is a selection of material from a recent Scott Hanselman blog, which Dave does link to. While Dave does mention the change-icon possibility: he does not clarify that it's a project on CodePlex, and he does not provide a direct link to it, and does not mention that the content about the change-icon tool, and the link to it, are: an "update," inserted at the very end of that Hanselman blog. Are there a lot of people here who do not read Scott's blogs (?), or delay reading important blogs in the .NET world, that they are very interested in, simply because they are busy as hell, meeting deadlines, preparing meals for their children, and their equivalents of the Lady Vilmos, etc. ? I read Scott's blog, usually within one hour of getting the e-mail notification of a new entry: he's just fascinating to me, as writer, programmer, "evangelist," and "trailblazer," even when I don't have a clue about the technologies he's writing about (which is too damn often). But, I have the luxury of being free to do what I want to do, when I want to it. Let's give JSOP a pass on this one, even a professional marksman can occasionally over-shoot on a windy day :) best, Bill

Hi Dave, I'm not going to vote on this post, and not trying to be "picky-picky," and I think this post is a valuable alert to CP about some very relevant "hot stuff:" But, I do think it would be "professional courtesy" to mention the name of the writer of the blog, Scott Hanselman (and the blog title, too), you link to, and the name of the author of the icon-change facility, Matthew Johnson. It would have been great, imho, if you had written about your personal experience actually installing, and using, these tools. best, Bill

I agree, and that is why I didn't post all the direct link, instead I have posted the link to his article. I thought he is popular enough to recognize when you open his blog. and it was not my intention to not give credit to authors. But you are right, I could have posted the information with proper credit and hands on experience. I have updated the post. Thanks Bill.
