Transfer Visual Studio 2019 theme to Visual Studio 2022

Is there a way to transfer (export/import) a Visual Studio 2019 theme to Visual Studio 2022?

I have tried to import the VS2019 theme which I have created several years ago, no success. I have tried to export/import the settings but the result was negative

I will be very happy if someone shares a working way to do that.

Thank you!

Install the Color Theme Designer from the marketplace:https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=idex.colorthemedesigner2022.

This will provide a new project type (File -> New) called VS Theme Project. You can then copy whatever .vstheme file you want into the project (after you've removed the file added by the project template). When you build, your theme will be in the bin folder and you can install it.

Well, if someone else wants to do this. Because there is no way to add a *.vstheme file directly but using the extensions for VS. I have cloned the Mads Kristensen repository for one of his themes and placed my own.

  1. Install VS2022 extensibility
  2. Clone https://github.com/madskristensen/BlueColorTheme
  3. Open the project and replace the *.vstheme file with yours
  4. Compile the project and go to bin/release and install the extension *.vsix
