Visual Studio 2012 Theming

Our team has recently upgraded from Visual Studio 2010 to Visual Studio 2012.

I couldnt get to grips with the colour theming of the revamped UI.

'Light' was too light, and 'Dark' was too dark...if that makes sense.

I reached a happy medium by importing the text editor colour scheme from my old VS2010 setup, as show in the screenshot below.



This can be replicated by doing the following:



  • Download the following text file: http://pastebin.com/download.php?i=tt0x6eYZ
  • Save the extension as '.vssettings'
  • In VS2012,
    • Set the default theme to 'Light' (Tools  >  Options  >  Environment  >  General).
    • Tools  >  Import / Export Settings  >  Import Selected Environment Settings, then selecting the file you downloaded above.

Distance between two gps coordinates?

private static double Radians(double x) { return x * Math.PI / 180d; } public static DistanceContainer DistanceBetweenPlaces(decimal lat1, decimal lon1, decimal lat2, decimal lon2) { return DistanceBetweenPlaces((double)lat1, (double)lon1, (double)lat2, (double)lon2); } public static DistanceContainer DistanceBetweenPlaces(double lat1, double lon1, double lat2, double lon2) { double dlat = Radians(lat2 - lat1); double dlon = Radians(lon2 - lon1); lat1 = Radians(lat1); lat2 = Radians(lat2); var a = Math.Sin(dlat / 2d) * Math.Sin(dlat / 2d) + Math.Sin(dlon / 2d) * Math.Sin(dlon / 2d) * Math.Cos(lat1) * Math.Cos(lat2); var c = 2 * Math.Atan2(Math.Sqrt(a), Math.Sqrt(1d - a)); return new DistanceContainer(c); }
