Let’s talk about some digressions first. Everyone is familiar with Visual Studio. It is the most mainstream integrated development environment under the Windows platform, but why is Visual Studio called this name? The literal translation of the word means "visual workstation\picture workstation", this is because before VisualStudio.Net, most user interface designs needed to be implemented in code, but the emergence of Visual Studio has changed this situation, developers only need to drag Move the control, the code will be changed automatically. Although I don't use Visual Studio as an interface program, that's where its name comes from, and I've always loved Visual Studio. In addition to the powerful interface programming function, Visual Studio has many other admirable features. The following is one of the rich plug-in functions to be introduced.

Just imagine how much fun it would be if we had to stare at the screen every day to read code and write code, if we could customize our own integrated development environment. The theme Editor plugin provides richer options and customization options, allowing us to play with Visual Studio themes.
