Configuration Theme Switcher

Configuration Theme Switcher automatically changes the active Visual Studio theme when your solution configuration changes.

Use different themes for Debug, Release, Staging, Benchmark, or any custom configuration so your current build state is obvious at a glance. This helps prevent accidental work in the wrong configuration and gives each workflow a clear visual identity.

Features

• Automatically switches themes when the active solution configuration changes
• Supports custom configuration-to-theme mappings
• Works with common configurations like Debug and Release
• Normalizes platform-qualified configuration names such as Debug|Any CPU
• Restores a fallback theme when the active configuration is unmapped
• Configurable from Tools > Options > Configuration Theme Switcher > General
• Uses Visual Studio theme display names for readable mappings

Example Mappings

Debug=Dark
Release=Light
Benchmark=Blue
Staging=Solarized Dark

Configuration Theme Switcher is lightweight, settings-driven, and built to stay out of your way while making configuration changes much easier to notice.
