Can you apply a custom skin / appearance to SSMS? I am thinking something along the lines of a dark theme (black background, yellow font) you'd find in most IDEs

I decided to try something simple on SSMS 2012:

  1. Go to http://studiostyl.es/
  2. Pick a theme and download it
  3. Follow these screenshot instructions

Note that doing this will only affect the theme of the text editor, not the toolbar, menu, object explorer window, etc.
