Visual Studio 2012 Theme is Terrible!

I realize that you're trying to make VS 2012 look flatter like Windows 8 (metro), but it's now so flat that you can barely tell where one tool pallet ends and the other begins. The light theme is too light, and the dark theme is too dark.

Maybe take a look at XCode for inspiration, it's a dream to use in comparison. (I use both daily)

        Wrong! Everyone seems to moan about a new theme for the first few minutes, whether it's Office or Facebook or anything, simply because they are not used to it, then a few years later when it changes again, people moan again. But who cares about the poxy theme anyway? Seriously, how about paying attention to something that matters, like functionality. It's a tool not a painting.The biggest problem with VS is that it has thousands and thousands of bugs in it, if they have fixed some of those without introducing several million more then it's a step in the right direction.
