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!

Very useful tool Very useful tool, given that SSMS lacks a dark mode. Still has some minor issues in the dialogs, but the main window of SSMS and the text editor are perfect.

Absolutely fabulous product Absolutely fabulous product! Other reviewers have already put it more eloquently than I can. This is the SSMS plug-in you've been waiting for... download and start enjoying it today!

It just works. And it's free! For any real developer spending time in SSMS (or with it windowed), the incessant glare of white real estate -- a "dark theme" oversight -- is an irritation that turns quickly to a headache. SQL Shades is a perfect solution: It just works. Even better, it's free (without nags)! Nevertheless I found it so useful, I donated "a coffee." The developer, Michael Van Devender, is friendly and responsive to user issues -- and proactive in development. I only just upgraded to v20 and his SQL Shades already supported it.
