Saves my eyes daily Been using this for several months now, it's really good of my eyes. SSMS was one of the last few tools I use daily that did not support a true dark mode. I work a lot of SQL and BI stuff, so this is truly a blessing. Thank you SQLShades!

Every day... Every day, every day, I'm thankful for SQL Shades. It makes my multi-mega-monitor SSMS questions so much easier to abide for hours on end, which is my life. Thank you!

Your eyes will thank you As others said before me, SSMS was the only remaining app developers use daily that was lacking proper dark theme and this solved that problem. No more strike of light when switching from dark windows. I really love this and huge thanks to a developer who made it free.

A fantastic tool! A fantastic tool which brings much needed cohesiveness to the Windows developer/DBA. Works as described and is always improving.

Cool piece of software! In general I like the Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio. For decades it helps to access SQL Server databases. Every new version is like the old one. With a hack you could even get something like a dark theme. With black letters on black background in context menus. And the hack disappears with every new version of SSMS. Now I found SQL Shades. It contains a real dark theme with readable context menus and brings the UI of SSMS to the current decade. Thank you very much for this leightweight solution of a obvious request!
