Offers an incredible improvement to the SSMS experience

My main work life is spent in SSMS. I've been using SQL Shades for about half a year now, and it has been a game changer. So much easier to work in dark mode!Be aware that at this point, SQL Shades doesn't handle the following: - Integration services catalog - Packages - Reports. - Some Redgate extensions (SQL Search, SQL History, SQL Source Control).In addition, Redgate's SQL Test extension doesn't play happily with SQL Shades - the on-screen text is colored such that it simply disappears to the point that when I need to use that tool, I have to turn off SQL Shades.But I'm not in those areas enough that it bothers me. The main query panes are where I spend most of my time, and they couldn't be better!
