Stop waiting for M$ Finally, after 10+ years of waiting for Microsoft to implement a dark theme in SSMS I can stop using registry hacks of half implemented themes that don't really work. SQL Shades just works. I've been looking at replacements for SSMS as it's the only app I use that doesn't have a dark mode. Thinking about replacing all the muscle memory investment in SSMS has been daunting to say the least. SQL Shades makes SSMS look better than it ever has and makes it a lot easier to use. Thank you!

Eye Savior It is a travesty of the highest order that, In the year of our lord, 2024, SSMS STILL does not have a dark mode. SQL Shades gets rid of the hacky hoops you used to have to jump through to make this happen. It's free, but even if it wasn't, it would be worth every penny, so buy my man a cup of coffee or two.

Full Dark Mode Finally SQL Shades works as expected, it is great. i look forward to the possible Pro version 😁

FINALLY- All these years using a… FINALLY- All these years using a "Hack" to get some sort of dark mode are finally behind us!... Thank you so much for the work you put to get the plugin working. I've already shared with others how great it is.

Your eyes will thank you As others said before me, SSMS was the only remaining app developers use daily that was lacking proper dark theme and this solved that problem. No more strike of light when switching from dark windows. I really love this and huge thanks to a developer who made it free.
