Rounded context menus on Visual Studio Community 2022


Visual Studio IDE doesn't look nice for me, one of the problems are corners aren't rounded. Is there a way to get a rounded corners, like IntelliJ (for example)?

I know about themes and I also know that VS uses its own way to draw graphics, but AFAIK themes cannot change this. So, is there a way extending it or installing some extensions to actually make it look better?

I have seen some images on this developer blog. I see they use preview version of VS, but I still doesn't have this even with preview community version:

As you can see, the context menu has rounded corners. How can I achieve that?


Solution

  • The Fluent UI refresh is available behind a hidden feature flag, even in the non-preview release. Install the Feature Flags VS extension, then go to Tools > Options > Environment > Feature Flags, disable Shell.ClassicStyle, and enable Shell.ExperimentalStyles. Restart the IDE and you will see the new styles.
