Visual Studio goes dark

I have been noticing a trend. Many developers are beginning to utilize darker color schemes in their VS IDE. I am not sure when or why this started. There are several posts floating around that contain some nice schemes. Most notibly is Tomas Restrepo's site.

Some of these darker schemes are nice, while others tend to remind me of the old 3270 emulators and CICS terminals. Its interesting to note that the IDE for Microsof Expression Blend makes nice use of black and gray.

I have adopted a scheme that I am really enjoying. Go grab it here...


*** UPDATE ***
I have since reverted back to a lighter color scheme. However I am not using the VS Default. Something about all the dark colors became irritating to me. Just personal preference I guess.
