Tool window that shows the current Visual Studio theme colors to help you with identifying the relevant resource key to use in your Visual Studio plug-in to support themes. You can also filter the colors by RGB or use the color picker to easily identify the color key you need.

This plug-in was born from the need to support theme colors for a Visual Studio plug-in we developed for a customer.

To enable themes in your code you need to add reference to Shell assembly in your xaml:

xmlns:vsfx="clr-namespace:Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell;assembly=Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.12.0"

After that you can use the colors in your xaml like this:

<Setter Property="Background" Value="{DynamicResource {x:Static vsfx:VsBrushes.MenuKey}}"/>
