Like the style and theme of Microsoft Expression Blend? Me too!
Want to get this look?
Here is how:
- Historically I liked the darker chrome in Windows since Vista. Same in with Windows 7 now:
- Since Office 2007 – I’ve used the Silver and Black theme. Most people don’t know about this feature hidden in Options menu of the Office 2007+ apps. [In Office 2011 you can get to this option in the Outlook Options, in 2007 use Word]
- In the last year I got infected with passion for Expression Blend and SketchFlow
- Same year I converted my VS 2008 code window theme to “chalky” dark theme to find it easier on my eyes.
- Latest craze? Visual Studio 2010 Blend theme via Theme editor
