Dark Color Scheme for Visual Studio 2010 - Chinese Takeout

For some reason I always thought people who coded with dark color schemes were emo. But after getting a Windows Phone 7, I really started to appreciate dark themes. It makes a lot of sense to have one while you're coding, so you're not just staring at a white light bulb for hours. I've tried a few that are out there, but one that I really like is a color scheme that comes with NetBeans called Norway Today. Inspired by that scheme, I created my own for Visual Studio that I call Chinese Takeout.

I love it and feel obligated to share it with the world. You can download it here.


Currently it's configured for JS, CSS, XML, and CS files.
