Cannot import settings #47

Closed davidmn closed 6 years ago

davidmn commented 6 years ago

Running Visual Studio Enterprise 2017 version 15.7.1

Importing the vssetings files gives the following error: "The settings in file C:\Users...\solarized-dark.vssettings" cannot be imported because this file is not a valid .vssettings fil."

Visual Studio does not provide any debugging information.

Open the vssettings file you downloaded to make sure you didn't save the page's HTML as a file.

To get the raw dark vssettings file:

  1. Navigate to: visualstudio-colors-solarized/vs2017/solarized-dark.vssettings
  2. click the Raw button
  3. right-click anywhere on the raw code and "save as..." to a known location
  4. Import settings to Visual Studio

Ok that seems to work apart from it only changes the colour in the text editor. All other panes remain default. Is that the expected behaviour?

jpeart03 commented 6 years ago

It only changed my text editor, too. As an alternative, you can checkout the Color Theme Editor for Visual Studio 2017, which has a "solarized dark" theme that works for the entire UI.

Thanks @jpeart03, that's does what I want.
