Hey where and how did you get the VBE to honor a dark theme??!!!!?! This is the first time I see an actually dark VBE (and I love it!!)

[IvenBach]

Did you change some of the default windows colors to achieve this effect?

This is something I would like myself.

[zbyna]

I had to change all default colors in Windows with:

and the theme is https://yorgash.deviantart.com/art/Steam-VS-for-Windows-7-449032822
It is quite drastic change but dark theme + f.lux is must for my eyes b/c often work all the night.

That link is broken, @IvenBach ,is there some other way to get whatever you're referring to? I'd love dark theme! What tool is it?

[IvenBach]

I don't know. Need to ping zbyna who's the one that originally opened and posted for that.

You can change some coloring for the VBIDE. From the menu up top Tools>Options to display the Options dialog>Editor Format tab>Code Colors. Choose an element in the list then edit the Foreground/Background color to your preference. With a black background it makes a big difference.

This doesn't affect Rubberduck windows as seen in the bottom left with Code Explorer.

@IvenBach Oh my goodness, I'm sorry, I accidentally pinged you instead of @zbyna.

It is a long time ago I have no Win 7 installed I am on Linux now with Win10 on VirtualBox 🙂
I believe these links are enough for installing Steam theme on win7:

Be sure to create a System Restore point. If I remember well it is easy to meet problems 🙂
