How to turn on Dark Theme in SSMS – Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 18 or higher
Hi Info Technicians 🙂
This blog will look into how to turn on Dark Theme in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 18 or higher.
This is quite a simple one 🙂
Turn on Dark Theme in SSMS – Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio
Go to this path “C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 19\Common7\IDE” or go to the installation path(and inside IDE) and find for ssms.pkgundef file.
Once done please open the file in edit mode and find // Remove Dark theme in the file
For me, it’s at the end of the file.
After that just add // in front of the value as shown in the below picture and save it.
As is:
// Remove Dark theme
[$RootKey$Themes{1ded0138-47ce-435e-84ef-9ec1f439b749}]
To be:
// Remove Dark theme
//[$RootKey$Themes{1ded0138-47ce-435e-84ef-9ec1f439b749}]
Once done you can open your Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 18 and go to Tools->Options->Environment->General and choose the color theme as Dark.
