I finally took the plunge and change the default colors for my Visual Studio text editor. I tried a few from http://idehotornot.ning.com  I liked Pill Crusher 2008 the best. The nice thing about it is that it can be used in both VS2005 and VS2008. All that is needed is to open the settings in your favorite text editor, then change this node:

ApplicationIdentity version="9.0"

to this:

ApplicationIdentity version="8.0"

VS2005 is 8.0, while 9.0 is VS2008
