Visual Studio 2008 file not valid #8

Closed george-silva closed 11 years ago

george-silva commented 12 years ago

The Solar light theme file is not valid.

Visual Studio complaints and does not apply the configurations. No error message (at least specifically) is outputed.

I'm having the same issue with the VS 2010 configurations.

I am also having the same issue with VS 2010. VS complains with the following error message:

"The file is not a valid vssettings file and cannot be added to the settings file list"

leddt commented 12 years ago

Sorry for the late reply. I'm not sure what the problem is, because I just tried the light theme on my local install of VS2010 and it worked. I don't have VS2008 at the moment so I can't test it.

I don't have the time at the moment to investigate further, but if you do find something please let me know.

In 2008 it does not work, and I can't help futher, since it does not give other details for the error.

Verify that you are saving the .vssetting file correctly. Non-intuitively, you can't just right-click on the file and do a save-as. You need to left click on the settings file, it then opens. Then click on "Raw" and then do the save-as.

(since the .vssetting file is XML, it's looks similiar to the HTML of the page...I had to look a few times before I figured it out)

@leddt you might to make the instructions totally nubbie proof :)

@alapolloni Thanks for the suggestion. I just added download instructions to the readme.
