It'd be nice if you could open a 2005 project with 2012, without converting it to 2012 format, and then compile it with the 2005 version of CL. That would give you the 2012 UI, and not alter the project/solution/binary more than necessary. > ** > > *From:* ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com [mailto: > ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com] *On Behalf Of *mike smith > *Sent:* Thursday, February 23, 2012 9:35 PM > > *To:* ozDotNet > *Subject:* Re: New look of Visual Studio, what are your thoughts?**** > > ** ** > > On Fri, Feb 24, 2012 at 4:15 PM, David Kean <david.k...@microsoft.com> > wrote: > > > We showed off the new look today: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/visualstudio/ > > > > > > > > Thoughts? > > I agree, somewhat, about the colour, but feel you've gone too far towards > monochrome.
