VB.NET interface colours

CSX

Hi
I have just loaded Visual Basic.Net.
I find the interfact colours very drab, especially compared to Office 2003.
How do I change the interface colours (currently greys & white)

Are you referring to the colors of the application you created in VB.NET, or
the colors of the IDE?

The IDE colors come from the colors you have set for Windows. VS.NET does
not have its own setting to change them.
