Highlight current line Visual Studio custom theme

A nice feature of ReSharper, besides all refactoring goodness, is the ability to highlight the current line. That is the line where the caret is, is highlighted. This makes it so much easier to get back and find where you last left off or where the search result is when searching around in Visual Studio.

If you have ReSharper it’s easy to do this. Just go to ReSharper’s options menu ReSharper –> Options. And from there go to the Editor menu and select “Highlight current line”

If you have a customized color theme like I do, then you can change the default highlight color by going into Visual Studio’s own Options menu, Tools –> Options, and then change the Item background color for the ReSharper Current Line.

Here is the result for my theme.

By the way if you like this theme you can download it from here. It also contains the Dina font by Jørgen Ibsen. A font that is made for readability. The theme is a modded version of Oren Ellenbogen's Dark Scheme.

Enjoy!

I will show you how to accomplish what I showed in Share Point Designer, albeit a bit easier in Visual Studio..Then I will extend to features and functionality that can be best done (if not only be done) in Visual Studio. This session is going to be more technical than the previous dinner.
