ValentineSmith Themes — Valentine Night and Valentine Light

Two Valentine's Day color themes for Visual Studio, for the whole IDE and the code editor. Valentine Night is a wine-dark evening; Valentine Light is a pink greeting card. Hearts, roses and champagne — romantic, and still comfortable for a full working day.

Free. Forever. No subscriptions, no "pro" version, no data collection, no messages at startup. There is no code inside, only colors — so it never asks for anything, not even a rating.

Valentine Night

Keywords are red hearts, types mint, strings champagne, numbers lilac, methods roses; comments are a soft mauve. The status bar is raspberry — mint while you debug.

Valentine Light

Raspberry keywords, teal types, gold-ink strings, violet numbers and rose methods on blush white.

Made for coding

• The main syntax colors have a contrast of at least 5:1 with the background.
• Types are mint and teal so that not everything is pink, and the error squiggle is a pure red that stands apart from the raspberry keywords; warnings are amber, messages blue.
• Selection, current line, find highlight, highlighted references and brace matching all have their own clear colors.
• C# and Visual Basic get every color (methods, parameters, interfaces, type parameters); other languages use the shared ones.

Turn it on

Visual Studio 2026: Tools › Theme › Valentine Night (or Valentine Light), and keep Tools › Editor Appearance on Match Theme — otherwise the editor keeps the usual colors.

Visual Studio 2022: Tools › Options › Environment › General › Color Theme.

Colors you changed yourself in Fonts and Colors stay on top of any theme.
