SSMS Dark Theme

SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) has no equivalent Visual Studio Dark theme. I've been recently spending some unusual amount of time in SSMS working on database setup scripts and Stored Procedures and staring at a white screen all day is too much (for me) so I decided to come up with a theme that matches Visual Studio's default Dark theme with some color enhancements. 

Note: This theme only applies to the main editing window.

STEP 1 - Download .vssettings file 

STEP 2 - Open SQL Server Management Studio and go to 

Tools > Import & Export Settings > Import selected environment settings > Choose Yes to backup your current settings >  Browse to the downloaded file  > Finish.

STEP 3 - Since the theme only applies to the main editing window, for best results collapse the Properties and Object Explorer panes.

Using some MSDN samples you get the following results





Happy Thanksgiving!
