.NET Forum / Visual Studio.NET / IDE / November 2005VS2005 - Any way to alter stock IDE 'fuzzy' toolbar icons?
Hi, To my eye the toolbar icons in VS2005 seem "out of focus". Rather than having sharp well-defined images, they apparently were deliberately made in this "fuzzy" way. Is there any way to change to an alternate set of more traditional "sharp" icons? Thanks, Alan Cobb Tools > Options > Environment (?) has settings to change size and text but that's about it. <%= Clinton Gallagher > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > Thanks, > Alan Cobb Hi Clinton, I guess I'll have to get used to the 'fuzzy' icons. OTOH, after half a day of playing with RTM VS2005 I'm very impressed so far with the rest of the UI, including the WinForms 2.0 designer and new controls. Looks like it may be time to kiss VS2003 goodbye.

Very very strange issues like the Website Administrator adding two users into the database for each user I add and posting the time 6 hours later than the actual system time when the user was added. Other stuff too... <%= Clinton Gallagher > Hi Clinton, > [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] >>> Thanks, >>> Alan Cobb Hi Clinton, Well I guess half a day isn't much testing time for me yet :). One thing that can be painfully slow in VS2003 is single stepping during mixed-mode debugging (involving both native and managed code). In my short testing of VS2005 that problem seems to be gone.

AFAIK, there is no way to change that (apart from changing the color depth of your screen, which would affect other applications)  SignatureBest regards, Carlos J.
