Background Studio Views
3) Ultimately, if you want more control of the background texture, you can use Visual Studio Background Customizer extension. You can download and install it using Tools/ExtensionManager, then after IDE restart you should have a new menu options Tools/Customize Background.l It invokes a dialog that should allow you to use a solid color as background, use a transparent texture (keeps the gradients), use an image as the background or define a texture to your liking that doesn’t have flicker problems on your monitor.
If you prefer editing the texture with a text editor rather than clicking the cells, you can modify the %LOCALAPPDATA%MicrosoftVisualStudio10.0BackgroundTheme.xml file (just make sure the xml format is still valid, otherwise the shell will regenerate and save the file with default settings next time you’ll close with OK the Background Customize dialog).
We don't currently plan to update this highlight behavior, but there are a few other ways to customize it. If you use a custom color scheme and the highlight is too bright, it might help to change its color to something subtler in Tools- gt;Options-igt;Environment-egt;Fonts and Colors-mgt;Collabsible Region. If you'd prefer to turn off the highlight altogether, setting the background color for Collapsible Region to your editor background should eliminate it (and the flickering). You could also go to Tools- gt;Options- gt;Environment-igt;General and uncheck p"Enable rich client visual experience " to turn off the highlight, though that will change the appearance of a number of UI elements in Visual Studio.
If yous’re a stock photographer or just selling stuff on Ebay, you might want to take a look at the D-Flector, a portable studio backround on a briefcase. All you need to do is open the case and put it on the top of a desk with your product on it. When you take a picture with your digital camera and flash, the reflective background illuminates with the flash, giving you an ideal white background for your product. No need to buy those expensive lighting equipments or tabletop.
