I know it's early, but I couldn't find any information on that topic. I am trying to adjust the theme I am using for the new Fluent UI. I cannot find any resources on that and all the tools like VSIX Color Editor - Visual Studio (Windows) | Microsoft Learn or Visual Studio 2015 Color Theme Editor - Visual Studio Marketplace

don't work with VS2026...

r/VisualStudio on Reddit: One Dark Pro theme for Visual Studio 2026
November 14, 2025 -

Hello everyone!

I switched to VS2026, but my daily-driver theme One Dark Pro wasn’t working correctly anymore — some colors were broken and the new UI didn’t match the original look.

So I decided to fix it myself, and now I’m releasing it. :)

One Dark Pro 2026 is a lightly updated and corrected version of the classic theme, adapted specifically for the VS2026 color engine. Same aesthetic, but with proper contrast, fixed keys, and better consistency across the new UI.

I also included a simple VSIX build script, so you can edit the YAML and rebuild your own customized version easily.

Visual Studio 2026 First Look: Evolution, Not Revolution - The New Stack
November 15, 2025 - First of all, I use a dark theme and I would not have Copilot in the right pane by default. Before I changed to the Unity Project pane, I asked Copilot: “How do I set dark mode?” It gave plenty of answers. In a trice, we were good. Although there was no option to “just do it,” it did offer a script. It also offered screenshots for 2026, so at least it knew the version for sure.
