Great dark mode for SSMS, simple to install and clean

I've been using the pkgundef hack for years, and while it works...it's always left a lot to be desired. Context menus in particular would be difficult to read. SQL Shades provides a dark mode that's actually a comprehensive Dark Mode as it should be. It works perfectly, seamlessly...doesn't slow anything down and does exactly what it says on the tin.

Fantastic little addon that immediately feels like a natural part of SSMS.

Love it! I spent a while using SSMS with a half-baked dark theme after "hacking" one of the config files to enable the dark theme in the options. But it was definitely not what it should have been. SQL Shades saved the day (and every day thereafter) with it's beautiful and comprehensive dark mode. I cannot work without it!

Shades Dark theme is a fundamental piece for SSMS that MS is neglecting.

This is a great piece of SSMS software and everyday my eyes thank me for downloading and installing it. I spend hours a day in SSMS, and being able to use a dark theme in every window is a amazing.

Such awesomeness! Just raw awesomeness! SSMS team should hire you right away and give you a fat pay for doing something that they haven't been able to deliver for ages!

I highly recommend SQL Shades. It's a simple thing: provide a DARK THEME for SSMS, which it does very well.
