Change dark blue background in Visual Studio 2010 IDE

The dark blue background in the Visual Studio 2010 IDE is driving me nuts. How can I change the background to a slate silver color?

You can do that in Tools / Options and then Environment / Fonts And Colors and there is a setting for background color.

Or even better you can choose from predefined styles at http://studiostyl.es/, these style setting works for Visual Studio 2008 and Visual Studio 2010 for all versions, including the express : http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2010/04/29/download-and-share-visual-studio-color-schemes.aspx

I use this one:

http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/20cd93a2-c435-4d00-a797-499f16402378?SRC=VSIDE

It will add a 'Theme' menu to the tool bar where you can change the colour scheme to a pre-set one, or define your own.
