Here’s Microsoft’s official stance on this long existing problem. Lots of people have the same problem, and not just VI users either. But the thing that bugs me most is, someone made a decision to take this choice away from me, making my work harder, and forcing me to endure a sub-optimal experience, reserved only for visually impaired users. It is plain, white text on a black background.
So what’s the problem with that, you ask? I mean,I’m happy to use the high contrast theme elsewhere in Windows, so what’s the big deal? For starters, their “High Contrast” theme is terrible. The theme dropdown in the options is disabled and font/color styling is limited to a handful of colors. Instead, Microsoft forces Visual Studio to use their special “High Contrast” theme. Unfortunately, Microsoft won’t let me use their nice “Dark” theme, because someone at Microsoft thinks they know what I want, better than I know myself. Visual Studio has a rather lovely “Dark” theme that suits my tired old eyes very well. I also program for a living and use Microsoft Visual Studio. I run a high contrast Windows theme because I have crappy eyesight.
