Eye Savior It is a travesty of the highest order that, In the year of our lord, 2024, SSMS STILL does not have a dark mode. SQL Shades gets rid of the hacky hoops you used to have to jump through to make this happen. It's free, but even if it wasn't, it would be worth every penny, so buy my man a cup of coffee or two.

SQL Shades is a game-changer! SQL Shades has been a game-changer for my daily workflow in SSMS. It's refreshing to see such an impactful solution to a long-standing issue, Microsoft was not able to implement until today. Kudos for your dedication! Absolutely a must-have for any SSMS user (who loves a real dark mode)!

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!

Dark mode I've been using the Dark Mode SSMS hack for years - this is so much nicer. Great work and looking forward to future enhancements. Thanks Michael!

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!
