  Microsoft hired some stone aged designer for UI design in VS 2012 and that motherfukkr brought the black/white age back and they say they're enhancing colors and fukking VS which we see 80% of our time boycott VS new release it don't have Project installer template as well so now a new pain in the developer's *** Microsoft hired new bunch of idiots who think existing features are useless .Net 4.5 don't support XP as well so fuckkk New VS 2012 We don't need that shiittt keep it in your Asssess......

  sadly i have to agree with most comments :(

  standard ui look is not good at all, and my eyes get tired really fast. changing color theme to blue (vs10 alike) helps, but still e.g. solution explorer is illegible...

  I now have to start using VS2012 on a new project. I get headaches after about 3 hours of work now when I usually work 9 hours straight in VS2010 with no problems. The interface is a mess. The color theme option is a joke. The icons need to be more distinguishable one from another. I have a color monitor and I would like to be able to use it please.

  You see what happens when you design something while wearing 3D glasses?

  It is hard to stand at the look and feel of VS2012.
  Are these guys smoking some weeds or what?

  I read his article and his latest reply. What I hear is "Windows 8 Metro is great and everybody who complains is wrong". He uses Zune and the Windows Phone as his justification for it being "right" and "its too hard" for why they couldn't do better.

  Hmm... I would suggest, respectfully: to go into any retailer and try to purchase a Zune or look in any retailer that sells phones from all of the networks to see how many Windows Phones they sell (if any). To quote Dr. Phil (something I rarely do): "So, how's that working for ya?" Has Apple given up selling their Ipods or Iphones yet because they can't compete anymore? Are you worried about them "ripping off" the Metro design?

  Nobody likes it. The Emperor has no clothes. You had something excellent and you traded it for something terrible just like in the children's story and my guess it was for pretty much the same reasons.

  The people who made the decisions were likely surrounded with others who would only tell them "Oh, it looks wonderful" even though they knew it looked like garbage. Come on - can you honestly tell us that there are more than a handful of people who actually like this UI?

  The color theme is step 1, but I still find the UI painful. Is this a gateway to better things? If so, is there a roadmap we can look at in the hope of a brighter future? Why was this dog's breakfast inflicted on me, a developer on your platform?

  I have to agree that VS2012 actually does make the eyes hurt using it. I was surprised by that. I had read what other people had written about it, and it's true. Eye strain after only 10s of minutes of using it.

  I am just floored that Microsoft would do this to its developers. We are not regular end-users. Why do we have to be treated to the same horrid metro-like design? Why not (at least) give us the option?

  I just re-installed Visual Studio 2012 because I need a feature it has, and I noticed they now include more themes by default. I think the feedback is working. Still no way to edit icons.

  Why can't software keep getting better over time? Why do we continually have to lose fundamental abilities when "upgrading" Microsoft products? There's no reason for it except politics. *sigh*

  Doug, it's not just the basic theme. Colour doesn't make it much better. What happened? Was there no internal Microsoft previews? Have you not had tons of internal complaints before you released this?

  Thanks for sugesting the Color Theme editor... but thats no option for all the Express version users out there!

• Fabian Schmied commented  ·  October 5, 2012 2:17 a.m.  ·  Flag as inappropriateFlag as inappropriate  ·  Delete

  The Color Theme Editor is a good start, but the main problem I'm having is with the icons in toolbars and next to menu items. Without (differentiable) colors, scanning icons takes much longer.

  Fugly Fugly Fugly - Come on - really who designed this ****? Better yet WHO approved the look? Why are we going backwards in the look and design on what is supposed to be the latest and greatest?
  Please put out a SP with a theme - I will even take the old VS 6.0 over this eye bleeding garbage!

  Hire a designer to your team! At least one.
