just a perspective ...

Let me share the URL where I picked up Visual Studio 2012 theme editor .. thanks VS team to have done that work! http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/366ad100-0003-4c9a-81a8-337d4e7ace05 I settled on the one as below for now .. Rest assured you can modify the templates that you see now as bunch of options under Environment | General | Color theme .. And if you dare to go as far as *restoring* the icons similar to VS 2010 .. here is where you should navigate to.. http://vsip.codeplex.com/

Loads of people (which I gather from the .Net community) *hates* the new all-CAPS menu that is default behaviour for Studio 2012 and I am one of them, for sure ... so this morning, I thought, there got to be something to turn it off and YES - there is a way!    Default Menu for Visual Studio 2012 Steps to change the default all-CAPS menu to your usual First-letter capital word 1. Run registry editor (regedit.exe) 2. Navigate to  HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\11.0\General 3. Add a new DWORD called  SuppressUppercaseConversion  and set its value as 1 There we have it ... Visual Studio 2012 with the menu (view) same as the previous version.

This morning, a colleague of mine prompted me to find a list of changeset checked-in by a user .. I wasn't surprised to not find in either VS 2010 or VS 2012 but was little when I can't find under the TFS Power Tool plugin for Visual Studio (Team menu), however TFS Power Tool is not restricting! TFS Power Tool has this nice little nifty command tfpt searchcs Open up the Command Prompt for VS and there you go ... The tfpt searchcs brings up a popup window as below .. and you have various options to interrogate the change sets ... Happy Searching!
