Visual Studio 2010 - Revisiting Themes and Fonts : Reddnet Scribbles — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 17:47:02 +0000

[...] With VS 2010, these problems are just harder to get around. The new version adds yet more color-coding, all of which is useful. So this time, I tried a few of the compromise themes…. Ones that aren't based on black/near-black backgrounds. The most interesting of these turned out to be a theme called HumaneStudio: [...]

The configuration is no longer needed. Ankhsvn now detects installer diff/merge tools.

The fonts are 8×8 not just because of the time it takes to put them on the screen but also because of the low-resolution of the display device.

16×16 fonts would give a very low text-resolution of 16×12 characters.

LINQ to SQL will never support anything other than SQL Server & Compact Edition.

So good to see that LINQ to SQL is not dead! We would have lost countless hours migrating to .NET 4.0 if not.
Will mysql be supported?

do any of your fonts use push to dump 16 pixels onto speccy screen with one 11 tstate instruciton or do you have to use rst 10? seems a bit of a waste when there are 16 registers with push possibilities! ta ta hope u liked th evids?

Can you talk more about the ITable interface and how to use it to improve mocking? Or point to an article that does?

Thanks!

Comment on Envy Code R preview #7 (scalable coding font) by Richard Quadling

Richard Quadling — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 11:41:37 +0000

Hello. Nice font. Nice horizontal density. 200 characters wide on my display.

But only 60 lines.

Using Lucida Console, I get 175×77

So, is there a way to reduce the gap between the lines?

Bitstream Vera Sans Mono / DejaVu Sans Mono (175×65).

I tend to code with a lot of white space, which is great for printing and then adding notes, but on screen too much whitespace means less code is visible.

Regards,

Richard Quadling.

Thanks for the code. Your listing is missing an end tag. Might confuse/frustrate some….
