Make Visual Studio 2008 or 2010 look like Expression Blend

I recently started using a black theme for Visual Studio and love it. I would also like it if I could make all panels change color to something more than the Expression suite of programs. I assume this is not possible in VS2008, but is it possible to do this in VS2010 since it uses WPF?

I work for a company that builds online learning products. We have good research data in which darker colors at higher frequencies cause less eye strain. Although this doesn’t really answer your question, blue with white and yellow text seems best for advanced viewing.

Just recognized in VS 2010 you can go: -

Tools ... Extension Manager ...

Look for an extension called Visual Studio Theme Editor (seems to be one of the earliest).

This tool seems to allow you to change the theme in VS 2010. Do not think that you can make it look like a mixture as such, but you can change the colors at least.

I feel a strange return to (I think) my first question and answer after all this time. Hope this helps two people who are ahead of him :)
