How to combine the blue theme and the dark theme for the code editor?

How would you do to combine the dark theme for the code editor with the blue theme for the rest of the Visual Studio UI, is there a way to pick independent configurations for each one?

Blue default theme with dark editor

Using Visual Studio 2012, update 2 introduced the old Blue theme from VS2010 also available in VS2013 Preview

Yes, using the Color Theme Editor is the right answer. And you don't need to edit the color one by one. You can create a copy of the black theme, type "text editor" in the upper right search field, and then select all the filtered items in the main window, copy them, and paste to a copy of the blue theme with "text editor" filter in place. I did this in 1 minute!

This Channel 9 video explains how to do this, you can just watch the first 7 minutes.

You can use Color Theme Editor to do this. Take one of the two themes as base for your edits and change it in the way you need to get a new theme. I do it for my self with other themes - no problems at all.
