You can change the fonts and the colors in Visual Studio in several ways. For example, you can change the default dark theme (also referred to as "dark mode") to a light theme, a blue theme, an extra-contrast theme, or a theme that matches your system settings. You can also change the default font and text size in both the IDE and the code editor.

You can change the fonts and the colors in Visual Studio in many ways. For example, you can change the default blue color theme to the dark theme (also referred to as "dark mode"). You can also select an extra-contrast theme if that best suits your needs. And, you can change the default font and text size in both the IDE and the code editor.

Want even more themes to choose from? Check out the wide range of custom themes on the Visual Studio Marketplace. And to see examples of new Visual Studio 2022 custom themes based on VS Code, take a look at the Introducing a collection of new Visual Studio themes blog post.

For more information about how to change fonts and colors for accessibility, see the Set accessibility options section of this page. And, for details about all the user interface (UI) elements where you can change font and color schemes, see the Fonts and Colors, Environment, Options Dialog Box page.

You can make various changes to the code editor to suit your programming language of choice. For example, you can change brace formatting in C# to appear inline or on a new line, and more. To learn how to customize the code editor, see Set language-specific editor options.

The new Cascadia Code font includes Cascade Mono, which is the default font in Visual Studio 2022. Not only are both of these fonts easier to read, but the Cascadia Code font also includes coding ligatures that turn a sequence of characters into a glyph. Coding ligatures, or glyphs, make it easier for people to cognitively associate the meaning behind them.

If there is an accessibility option for colors or fonts that you think might be useful but isn't currently available in Visual Studio, please let us know by selecting Suggest a feature in the Visual Studio Developer Community. For more information about this forum and how it works, see the Suggest a feature page.

Visual Studio also includes features to help people who have limited dexterity to write. For example, Visual Studio supports Dvorak keyboard layouts, which make the most frequently typed characters more accessible.

There are more ways to customize Visual Studio to be more accessible to you. For example, you can change the behavior of pop-up windows, text-based tool windows, toolbar buttons, margin indicators, and more.

The dialog boxes and menu commands you see might differ from those described here, which can vary depending on your active settings or edition. To change your settings, select Import and Export Settings on the Tools menu. For more information, see Reset settings.

Visual Studio displays pop-up windows in the editor. These pop-up windows include information that makes coding easier, such as parameters to complete a function or statement. The pop-up windows can also be helpful if you have difficulty typing. However, some users might find that they interfere with focus in the code editor, which can be problematic.

You can rearrange the windows in the integrated development environment (IDE) to best suit the way you work. You can dock, float, hide, or automatically hide each tool window. For more information about how to change window layouts, see Customize window layouts.

When you select [All Text Tool Windows] in the Show settings for drop-down list, the default setting is listed as Default in the Item foreground and Item background drop-down lists. Select the Custom button to change these settings.

Information about accessibility is also available in other languages.

All fonts within Visual Studio must be exposed to the user for customization. This is primarily done through the Fonts and Colors page in the Tools > Options dialog. The three main categories of font settings are:

Environment font - the primary font for the IDE (integrated development environment), used for all interface elements, including dialogs, menus, tool windows, and document windows. By default, the environment font is tied to a system font that appears as 9 pt Segoe UI in current versions of Windows. Using one font for all interface elements helps ensure a consistent font appearance throughout the IDE.

Specific collections - designer windows that offer user customization of their interface elements may expose fonts specific to their design surface in their own settings page in Tools > Options.

Users often will enlarge or zoom the size and/or color of text in the editor according to their preference, independent of the general user interface. Because the environment font is used on elements that might appear within or as part of an editor/designer, it is important to note the expected behavior when one of these font classifications is changed.

If you need to display some WPF UI that is not a dialog and is hosted in its own HwndSource, such as a popup window or a WPF child window of a Win32/WinForms parent window, you will need to set the FontFamily and FontSize on the root element of the WPF element. (The shell sets the properties on the main window, but they will not be inherited past a HWND). The shell provides resources to which the properties can be bound, like this:

Some dialogs require particular text to be bold or a size other than the environment font. Previously, fonts larger than the environment font were coded as "environment font +2" or similar. Using the provided code snippets will support high-DPI monitors and ensure that display text always appears at the correct size and weight (like Light or Semilight).

To scale the environment font, set the style of the TextBlock or Label as indicated. Each of these code snippets, properly used, will generate the correct font, including the appropriate size and weight variations.

In some instances, localizers will need to modify font styles for different locales, such as removing bolding from text for East Asian languages. To make the localization of font styles possible, those styles must be within the .resx file. The best way to accomplish this and still edit font styles in the Visual Studio form designer is to explicitly set the font styles at design time. Although this creates a full font object and might seem to break the inheritance of parent fonts, only the FontStyle property is used to set the font.

The solution is to hook the dialog form's FontChanged event. In the FontChanged event, walk all controls and check if their font is set. If it is set, change it to a new font based on the form's font and the control's previous font style. An example of this in code is:

Using this code guarantees that when the form's font is updated, the fonts of controls will update as well. This method should also be called from the form's constructor, because the dialog might fail to get an instance of IUIService and the FontChanged event will never fire. Hooking FontChanged will allow dialogs to dynamically pick up the new font even if the dialog is already open.

To ensure that your UI is using the environment font and respects the size settings, open Tools > Options > Environment > Fonts and Colors and select "Environment Font" under the "Show settings for:" drop-down menu.

Set the font to something very different than the default. To make it obvious which UI does not update, choose a font with serifs (like "Times New Roman") and set a very large size. Then test your UI to ensure it respects the environment. Here is an example using the license dialog:

In this case, "User Information" and "Product Information" are not respecting the font. In some cases this might be an explicit design choice, but it can be a bug if the explicit font is not specified as a part of the redline specifications.

Sentence case is the standard capitalization method for writing in which only the first word of the sentence is capitalized, along with any proper nouns and the pronoun "I." In general, sentence case is easier for a worldwide audience to read, especially when the content will be translated by a machine. Use sentence case for:

Default text formatting in Visual Studio 2013 is controlled by The environment font. This service helps ensure a consistent font appearance throughout the IDE (integrated development environment), and you must use it to guarantee a consistent experience for your users.

Visual Studio UI design features a lighter appearance with more white space. Where possible, chrome and title bars have been reduced or removed. While information density is a requirement in Visual Studio, typography continues to be important, with an emphasis on more open line spacing and a variation of font sizes and weights.

The tables below includes design details and visual examples for the display fonts used in Visual Studio. Some display font variations have both the size and weight, such as Semilight or Light, coded into their appearance.
