# VS-Styler :Toggle and save your VS.Net font and color settings instantly

By Roy Osherove March 27, 2004 In [.Net Quotations](https://osherove.com/blog/category/net-quotations), [Cool Tools](https://osherove.com/blog/category/cool-tools), [Tips & Tricks](https://osherove.com/blog/category/tips-tricks)

**Historical article** · Originally published March 27, 2004; technical details may be outdated.

[Jason Olson](http://geekswithblogs.net/jolson/) went ahead and ran with [my idea](http://weblogs.asp.net/rosherove/archive/2003/07/05/9722.aspx) of an IDE add-in that saved your font configuration to pass around, and [made it much much better](http://geekswithblogs.net/jolson/archive/2004/02/14/2124.aspx). I'll let him tell about it:

_Well,_ [_VSStyler_](http://www.gotdotnet.com/Community/Workspaces/workspace.aspx?id=722d7817-b935-4faf-9bf7-fe3e84d463af) _is now ready for download. It is an add-in into Visual Studio .NET 2003 that allows you to save font and color settings into “styles”. This way, you can switch settings at the drop of a hat. I currently use this at work for a presentation/codeReview style and my regular programming style. It allows me to instantly change to either style I wish at anytime. I was hoping that we putting this out on the net, some of you might benefit from it, especially the presenters out there_

Very Cool!
