I got tired of the colours in VS2008 so asked on twitter if anyone has some themes. Got a good response of links to themes.
Here are the main links I was sent:
Scot Hanselman’s Blog

Iain Holder’s Blog

If you use ReSharper the normal settings people export don’t work correctly and you will have to do a lot of customisations yourself.
I based mine on Mohamed’s one and have done some changes, especially to XML and HTML views. I have found it much easier on my eyes and really enjoy it. So I thought I would share it with the interwebs.
Tools | Import and Export Settings | Import selected environment settings | Yes, save my current settings | Browse |VS2008R#Dark-FontsColours.vssettings | make sure it is importing Fonts and Colours only | Finish | Enjoy
Let me know if you like them.

I started using the Ininities loop DarkSide one but realised it was too vibrant with certain colours.
Now I use this one http://blog.wekeroad.com/2007/10/17/textmate-theme-for-visual-studio-take-2/
Very gentle on the eyes and lets me use a small font size (8) without compromising readablity!
