Delivers a superb dark mode experience to SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS). Makes working with SQL way more pleasant-- the palette is definitely well thought of. Microsoft couldn't do this better, if they wanted to introduce a dark mode.

Thanks, Brian! I appreciate the kind words 😊

Just what SSMS needed, I love the pro version of SQL shades, it has a true dark mode [Pitch Black], also [Cyberpunk] is pretty good as well. Great software and excellent value.

Thanks so much, Ian! Your support means a lot 😊

I really like a lot SQL Shades themes, particularly the "Pitch Black" theme. I'm over fifty-years old and it's easy on the eyes. Also, I like the "granular" level of customization the tool provides if for some reason you're not happy with the default ones. So I would really recommend this tool for any one who uses SQL Server on a daily basis. You won't regret it.

I've wanted to switch over to SSMS for years, but I find the UI and the light mode so UGLY and triggering for migraines that I could never do it. As someone who spends hours a day writing and executing SQL, I just couldn't do it. Then recently my boss showed me SQL Shades.... LIFE CHANGER! It's so beautiful and customizable and modern. No more 1994 SSMS for me. Thank you so much SQL Shades, you're inspiring.

A must-have add-on for MS SQL. It makes themes as easy as pie!

This tool provides a sorely missing feature set for SSMS. Until I found this tool, getting a nice dark theme was next to impossible without having to hack SSMS and still getting a sub-par result. With SQL Shades, it was magic and a real game-changer for someone who spends a lot of time working in SSMS. The tool installed easily and just plain works. For the price, you can't beat it and I would highly recommend.
