Also ability to sort alphabetically, by member type then | alphabetically etc would be nice (eg group fields, then methods, then | properties and alphabetically in each. | | - perhaps it might also be nice if member types/return types are a |different | colour ; and it would be cool if you could navigate by clicking on a |member | type to that type definition. | | - an it'd be nice if these "themes" were customisable. Put all the | colours/icons in a resource DLL, and allow for redirection to a user's path | dll. Including strings as well for first level interface (not all messages), | would allow people to choose themes that use ALL CAPS or not. | Why not completely open it up to 3rd party themes ?? | | | | | |-----Original Message----- | |From: ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com [mailto:ozdotnet- | | |boun...@ozdotnet.com] On Behalf Of Bill McCarthy | |Sent: Wednesday, 9 May 2012 11:15 AM | |To: 'ozDotNet' | | |Subject: RE: Colour Returns to Visual Studio 11 User Interface | | | |You mean THOUGHTS don't you ? | | | | | ||-----Original Message----- | ||From: ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com [mailto:ozdotnet- | ||boun...@ozdotnet.com] On Behalf Of David Kean | ||Sent: Wednesday, 9 May 2012 11:07 AM | ||To: ozDotNet | ||Subject: RE: Colour Returns to Visual Studio 11 User Interface | || | ||Thoughts? | || | || | || | ||From: ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com [mailto:ozdotnet- | | ||boun...@ozdotnet.com] On Behalf Of Ian Thomas | ||Sent: Tuesday, May 08, 2012 5:59 PM | ||To: ozdotnet@ozdotnet.com | ||Subject: Colour Returns to Visual Studio 11 User Interface | || | || | || | || | || | || | || | ||________________________________ | || | ||Ian Thomas | ||Victoria Park, Western Australia | || | || | | | | | | | | | |-- |Meski | | | http://courteous.ly/aAOZcv | |"Going to Starbucks for coffee is like going to prison for sex.
