Visual Studio 2012 UI customization

Question

Are there any add-ins available that let you customize the UI look and feel for Visual Studio 2012 IDE?

But its still very much related to productivity. For the first time I felt something higher wasn't good enough as lower is with VS 2012 — nawfal, Nov 15 '12 at 21:14

This extension gives you basic control over the VS2012 colour palette:

Unfortunately there's no control over icons, appearance/roundness of windows etc in this extension however.

There is also an open source project that can restore VS 2010 icons in VS 2012 :

I wouldn't use it anyways, as it's more a hack, than a real solution.

Thanks for the mentioning about Icon Patcher. I would play around with it, (just) for the heck of it. – Chrysalis Sep 10 '12 at 17:04
